Anyone else break there saws in with a rich oil mix

[Deets066]

I think it will break in faster at 16,000 rpm

I havent found any better and Ive used a bunch. Hadnt tried VP

Stihl ultra husky premium valvoline quarts blue bottle echo grey and red armor penzoil boat oil supertech wal mart are the only local oils i can get 12.95 per 6 pack 2.5 gallon per bottle red armor is the cheapest premium oil i can buy.

Probably so. Might still be a bit rich there though[emoji1]

 

[danimal]

32.1 first tank or 2 then 50.1 with amsoil Saber or 40.1 echo powerblend

Is this the new oil thread I can find.the other one

Heat cycling,taking it easy, using a break in oil or a special break in ratio is ridiculous IMO.
The best way to break a two cycle in is to bring the motor up to temp on the mix and ratio you plan to run and then load the snot out of it.
Ball and roller bearings as found in two strokes do not require break in. The cylinder to piston ring interface does and this doesn't happen without a high load.
If you fart around and don't seat the rings relatively soon the cross hatch peaks wear down/fold over and the rings never seat like they should.

So run it like you stole it then .

After its warmed up, yes. Actually I try to load the motor harder than I would in normal operation in order to facilitate break in.

Seems the saws dont need break in like a bike,once the bearings free up they seem to be broke in ,15 tanks or so in my experience.cylinders dont need the heat cycles like water cooled 2 strokes also.

Bikes don't need that crap either. There is basicly no differance in the bearing designs or materials used in making a bike engine vs a saw engine.

I'm in the "run the snot out of it" camp.

 

[Moparmyway]

Heat cycles are prudominantly in place for work hardening of bearings ............ specifically flat bearings;
like main bearings, connecting rod bearings, and cam bearings

Run it like it had a sticker from tennessee.

 

[t4driller]

I'm in the camp of run it hard right out of the gate. You only get one chance to break it in right.

What about the older atv jugs that were boreable ? no nikasil coating in those .

My current bikes motor uses a cast iron sleeve(cr500). I break it in the same as well.

50:1 and idle for 20 minutes with the low end a bit fat. Then it's to the wood.

 

[Nitroman]

Two heat cycles on rebuilt saws then 40:1 tuned rich for first couple tanks. Maybe overly causious but so far so good.

This.

It will never run that good .
