just changed my oil twice and it keeps turning almost black.... any ideas???? keep in mind i turned it upside down in some muddy water... but its running better than it ever has since the tump... more bottom end and way easier to crank (3 or 4 kicks)...

It also depends on how well the carb is jetted if to over rich then the blow by this the burnt and unburnt gas that passes past the piston rings into the bottom end, this can accaelerate oil contamination.

Radar,
Man, you worry too much. My first 3 Bergs had that issue. I could run them around the block and the oil would look dark in the sight glass. When you actually drain it out and look at it, it doesnt really look that bad. My 06 has been the best so far as keeping the oil clean. I have no explanation for it. I have an 05 Husky that will go 8-9 months or about 5-600 miles of riding and the oil looks new coming out of it. Go figure.
As far as the diesel oil goes, some of the newer oils have friction modifiers in them that may not be that compatable with wet clutchs. Just something to think about. I have run Delo before and had good luck. Lately I just run motorcycle specifc synthetics.

was only gonna run it a couple of minutes at a time , then drain , and do over until it cleared up...my luck can only be considered a "Tragedy" when it comes to all things mechanical... i guess thats why i worry.. but if you guys think its fine then i will stick to my normal schedule... ride the hell outta it and change the oil after every ride..
the weird thing is that ever since my flip-submarine-style-move , the damn thing is running better than ever..
feels 10% stronger on the bottom-end , and kick-starts so easy i dont know what to think... go figure...
