I recommend Tanaka perfect mix in all my ported saws.
I liked the h1r milling ,but limbing under low loads i had a pretty wet muffler from unburned mix ,stuff is kind of thick for normal saw use .but protects real well .The H1R I bought a quart of seems great, but in a can or a husky fuel tank looks like straight gas so it'll be the only quart I buy

Or just wait about a minute. lolSo what do you do when in doubt look for smoke out the exhaust?
So...He asked what the "best" was.
IMO it is the best if you want to spend that kind of coin.The H1R I bought a quart of seems great, but in a can or a husky fuel tank looks like straight gas so it'll be the only quart I buy
Yup what he said! ^I liked the h1r milling ,but limbing under low loads i had a pretty wet muffler from unburned mix ,stuff is kind of thick for normal saw use .but protects real well .
Cool Cool!I visited the inside of the Bel Ray plant in NJ many years ago when I was big into dirt bikes.
Just picked up two of those and @mdavlee has one of them. I know neither of us have ran it yet and it may be some time. Likely next fall for me.
I've run it mixed in their 40:1 fuel. I hated H1R. Couldn't get enough fuel through some carbs with it. It might protect great if the saw isn't ported to the edge of the carb delivery.Just picked up two of those and @mdavlee has one of them. I know neither of us have ran it yet and it may be some time.

I like a little 927 blend, particularly in the summer.

In all seriousness this is the best I've used so far

I used Royal Purple once and Jimmy Hendrix appeared in the smoke playing "Purple Haze" !So what do you do when in doubt look for smoke out the exhaust?
