I run the cam2 from Rual King, seems to work as well as anything.

I have some of that. I have been running County Line from Tractor Supply for ages without any issues. 400 is the only saw I have that won't give 1/1.
In fact, it's more like 1/.5 or even 1/.3
Not enough in my book...

Maybe something to do with the the fact that it was ported and it seemed to do best when loaded down? Making it run out of gas faster while not spinning super high rpm to through a ton of oil?

This one's not ported...Yet

Randy did mine and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I'd say mine is 1/3 tank of oil per tank of fuel super stingy for my taste especially w a 200 dollar bar.

10-4 that's a pretty good haul. Might as well say I'm in Louisville

I’m using a 461 oil control bolt in my ported 261, not a lot of time on it but seems to be much better.

Use thinner oil and more of it will get to where it is needed.

High viscosity & tacky is not Your friend when it comes to lubrication of parts that move fast.

Yeah, I know blasphemy!

Not saying that's not good advice but I wouldn't be surprised if our government was interfering in the bar oil to make it more environmently friendly, and at the same time making it less effective. Anything around here all seems about the same.

Take a NOS brand bar, look at the oil inlet hole (fairly large round hole straight through to the groove and the chains drive links), then compare it to the fancy shmancy new bars oiler holes (tiny, going around corners, poorly aligned to the saws PH oiler groove)!

Yes it is a "environmental thing" same as the 50:1/100:1 2-stroke oils when You shouldn't be running anything lesser than 40:1 even on highest quality oils.

Doesn't mean the end user has to stay oblivious and comply to it.

Use oils no more than a viscosity rating of 100 and enlarge Your bars oiler holes if they are the fancy kind - You will be turning that pump DOWN to get a tank of fuel on a tank of oil!

For the little I cut I make it up to nature through diligent recycling of household trash, utilizing anything "woody" for firewood and barely ever doing joyrides.
I also compost most everything that applies.

Yup I'm running 40:1 with the hole drilled out. Now I'm wondering if something is wrong with my original pump. Our neighbor has a 500i maybe I'll pull the pump out of that and see how it does. And yeah we recycle what we can and try to keep waste to a minimum. The amount of good plastic and metal that people just put in their trash around here is simply ridiculous.

I wash out aluminum fish cans and smash them down in size before sorting into my aluminum bin.

I wash or burn out steel cans (some feature a plastic layer on their inside, on some the label can't be easily removed), then smash them and throw into my steel bin.

Canned food containers account for a whole lot of trash volume.

Maybe Your saw needs a oil pump rebuild kit.
