First oil thread

[Mastermind]

I think I read somewhere that you don't have any of "my saws" and that you do all your cutting with other people's saws...

P.S. My MMWS 044 is still a 14hr round trip road trip away. Hopefully it will find it's way home in the next couple of weeks.

Meh, don't believe everything you read. lol

Burp

I'm going to win the saw Mike.

Hope you do, haven't seen you posting complete random waffle nonsense so you've got my vote along with Skippy, maybe you could both share it, like a ginger step child

 

[jake wells]

if i win the saw im gonna sell it on here for 250.00

 

[treesmith]

I'd go $200, cash

 

[Onan18]

If I win it I will raffle it off and all of the money will go into Shaunas' GoFundMe account. If MMWS or WWS or TreeMonkey wants to have their evil way with it beforehand even better.

I'll be glad to send you some to get your feedback....especially compared to the other oils you've used milling. Your applications would be a better comparative representation than my firewood cutting.

I'm willing to try some. I've got to get a big saw together soon. Going to have to break the 50" out for this log.

She's a beaut!

Cherry at that. I just hope it doesn't split bad. Its 35" wide at the widest point in the big end. I may end up shortening it to 5' or so before I mill.

Just looked at the current price of HP2 and 800 off-road on eBay. Both are within 5 cents of each other per ounce.

 

[jake wells]

i still got 4 liters of 800 i got onsale a few months ago for 15$ each.

Paincow, is that you????

No, sir.

I used right at 3/4 of a gallon today of it. There's a little weird smell to it but nothing bad. The unloaded rpm went up 800 from klotz super techniplate and pump gas. I mixed this with VP since I was out of 87 that wasn't mixed already. I expected it to be richer but was actually leaner. I tune by tach to 13k for milling. It was 12.8k and went to 13.6k. It didn't seem to have as much power in the cut. Not sure it was the Vp gas or the wood being an inch or two wider. I'll run some more and see what happens.

Thanks for testing it.

Less power compared to Klotz and Motul?

It did seem to be down a little on power compared to the klotz. It could be the 94 octane fuel as well but it was leaner on this mix than 87 and klotz.

Good quality FB/apiTC mineral base @50:1. No heavy bike/snow sled synthetics. Don't judge me, judge my saws. Can't believe my first post is in an oil thread.

That's pretty funny

Piston is black now. Wish I had a before picture.

I won't defile this thread with my oil of choice.
However, I'm blessed enough to have e-free 90 octane just down the road and my fuel stays good a lot longer.
