What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

Why would anybody run a high viscosity oil at 32:1?

Not knowing better. These motorcycle oils with high viscosities are designed to be ran at much higher loads and temperatures than we have in saws that are required to get them to combust

Where can thoso be bought?

In the threads. Gregg at Left Coast Supplies for locking. Dave at CCC for non locking on ebay.

If the oil is slowing down your saw you have a saw problem not a oil one.

I never liked r50

Honestly thought you would like the stuff!

Running that in the 044 with no problems. When I get a new race sled, that is all I run in them.


Sorry for the filter delay, been having some family health issues so it has been a rough couple of weeks here.

I didn't like r50 cause the smell. Klotz don't make bad oil.

The best I've found so far is benol at 50:1
It burns complete and lubes like a *b-word.
I'm staying with it

Might tear down the 7900 today, been fed Benol at 50:1 as well

Id like to see the pics CR

Klotz the slowest? Again, different saws will probably different results.

That was R50, they're using OTP.

I've got to raise the transfers in my 064,it's had 2 tanks of benol at 50:1. We'llsee how it looks after while

Looking foward to it

It looks exactly like it's supposed to.
Pretty wash that wiped away with my finger.

The benol is cleaner than what i thought it would be but with a few more tanks she would carbon on up alil i bet

 

[KenJax Tree]

Nope its brown and slight build up. Junk dirty oil, better switch to 800.[emoji23]

Im not a fan of castor oil in (my) OPE but it looks good.

 

[jmssaws]

What's wrong with castor oil?

It should carbon some

That's what my 800 looks like.

It doesn't burn good in my top handles. They don't really get hot enough long enough to burn it completely(same problem i had with 800). Its way too messy. I make a cut for 30 seconds and then shut it off for a minutes or 2 and so on.

Plus my saws stay in the side box on the truck all year and I don't want any separation issues.

In whos saw?

 

[Ron660]

It wasnt crud it was black hard carbon and there is a difference, and was ran on 927 and was alil thicker than I was comfortable with. Never said too much carbon was a good thing but its a normal part of the combustion process and gonna occur if u mix, tune, and load the saw correctly. Id be willing to bet there is carbon on top of your 660 piston that u havent seen. Randy , Brad, Mdavlee, Jason, etc. have all stated its normal and gonna occur on top of the piston. Its normal and u wont change my mind on it and thats not my opinion and no scietific data or marketing will change my opinion. Grease monkey knowledge and visual inspections do have their place as well as the scietific data u keep referring to but u r only considering 1 side and the rest of our opinions r null?

Again, I never said a piston crown should look new. I said since I switched to 800 I saw an improvement in detergency. The same criteria approved in oil certifications used to test oils. Lubricity is only a part of the testing....not 100%.
