According to the saber ratio, you can run 80:1 with no problem..Run saber at 40:1 myself, zero problems.
@tree monkey said it best - reason to run 32:1 isn't for the oil between the jug and piston. It's for the bearings.
I've tested Amsoil Saber - ran 32:1 amsoil saber for 3 gallons on a brand new 661. (there is dirko because I gasket deleted it right out of the box) Here are those pictures. Notice the build up on the EX skirt?
Gotta be the stihls.
I run amsoil at 32:1. Talked to a rep about 80:1 and 100:1 and his reply was I could live the rest of my life like a king for the $'s spent by research to make such a claim!My best friend is an amsoil fanatic. He has an 026 that's only ever had 100:1 amsoil. It's gone though at least 4 bars and the piston looks new. Mine still get it at 40:1.
The whole family runs 100:1 in all their sleds and quads. No issues and they run them hard.
I'm not actually advocating that... Just saying because this is the new oil thread.![]()
Might be fine if it's run in a rich condition, lean it out to the edge....My best friend is an amsoil fanatic. He has an 026 that's only ever had 100:1 amsoil. It's gone though at least 4 bars and the piston looks new. Mine still get it at 40:1.

@tree monkey been using schaeffer 7000 for 20 years with out a problem in every 2 stroke he owns. He only runs it 32:1.
as you guys know I've a lot of take downs. I can not find an oil cleaner burning.
Normally I would just put this in the oil thread but since there is so much love for RA. Here goes...
661 after 15ish gallons of gas mixed 32:1 with Red Armor.
Maybe this stuff is really only meant to be run at a higher ratio? Have not seen this with the likes of 2R, HP2, or Schaeffers 7k or 9k.
