    My engine is broke?

    The theory is it keeps the crank from slapping the oil around in the pan thus loosing horsepower , It has to do with a vortex at high rpm's and pulling the oil up. Its one of those add on free horsepower things racers love.

    Lead was used for longer valve life and octane booster, if you run premium gas and a cap full of dextron per gallon you should be fine. This is a common practice used in antique tractors with old engines. Dextron is high is detergents and provides some valve lube.

    Airport gas is one hundred low lead , most farmers use 90+ in old tractors or you can add a few oz of Dextron oil to each tank for upper lube. No need to pay extra for aircraft fuel

    Spray some carb cleaner in the air cleaner and see if it will fire, if not check for spark and then compression test. You need Compression , Fuel and Spark . Now just need to find what part you don't have.
