Along with the dope question,Parrifin for the chain! When us Americans first read about dipping our chains in parrifin,we thought,hey that's candle wax,so 1,000's have melted candles( me Too) and stunk up the kitchen,to wind up with a chain that would stand at attention when held out at arms length. It would'nt shift,made a flakey mess,stiff links,ect. The Europeans were doing like us,dipping them in motor oil,or gear grease,but,using an old term for petroluem. Also remember when the Ducati and BMW repair manuels said check the Earth wire! We checked every thing but a ground wire. Actually this is Prof. Greer's thought,from the Deep South.
