Re: caster oil
Go to your local drug store, it will be near the laxatives.
..or go to a hardware store, Menards, Home Depot... and look in the yard and garden pest control section for Sweeney's Mole & Gopher Repellent, it is 100% USP castor oil. http://lawn-and-garden.hardwarestore.com/79-504-animal-deterrents/sweeney-mole-and-gopher-repellent-525668.aspx

Re: caster oil
Yep, just make sure it says 100% USP with no added sugar. Sugar will murder your engine.
I buy it occasionally to mix with car fuel.

Stimulant/Laxative, funny it goes right through our engines as well.

Re: caster oil
If you need it as just an additive to raise the content a few percent, that will do the job just fine. But if you mix fuel in larger quantities, you should get de-gummed castor racing oil like Klotz. That's the brand Sig uses in their fuel. There are others too.

Re: caster oil
As Rusty pointed out, Klotz is one of the primary suppliers for model fuel lubricants, SIG included. Klotz is the company name and they manufacture a host of lubes ranging from pure synthetic to synthetic/castor blends to pure racing castor oil. What you want is BeNol --- it's an all castor lube with some anti-corrosion and color additives. The Klotz lube listed on SIG's site is Techniplate, a synthetic --- don't use this. If you order from SIG, buy their pure castor.
Since you live in Charleston, there should be a host of motorcycle and kart shops catering to racing. Many of these shops likely carry Klotz lubes and some should have BeNol. Just let your fingers do the walking.
