What’s wrong with overkill? It’s the same price as saber and usually is available in quart jugs as compared to smaller bottles. One jug of 32:1 of mixed fuel goes into everything I own and work on. The only saw I’ve ever seen it build carbon on was a 2511. Even then it’s just on the outside of the muffler, the insides were clean
I think what they meant was that it might not burn the way it might in a motorcycle and might lead to carbon. My 4-mix equipment is sorta picky when it comes to oil. Lots of oils don't burn cleanly.

Arborist site official fuel mix is half kerosene/ half Coleman's white gas. Has to be Coleman brand. Mixed 77.7/1 with liquefied unicorn farts and a sprinkle of fairy dust, which I'm told is zinc based.

Try it and find out.
Everyone that hasn’t says it’s going to promote carbon and to run saber instead.

I’ve used Ultra, regular Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Red Armor, Saber, and now I’m trying to The Duke’s oil. It’s all been fine. Saber is the cleanest, at least it appears that way.
