You don't want to use any quantity of castor based oil in a modern four stroke engine because castor is an extremely persistent oil that forms a varnish when heated.

This can gum up your rings and foul plugs and valves and play havoc with a fuel injection system and produces a lot of ash, which does nasty things to cats.

It's OK in many two-stroke motors (chain saws, strimmers and the like) just as it is OK in your kart engine.
