What oil is best? and what ratio?

[big t double]

I'm not suprized

F are you talkin about...you shop at the highest priced stihler in town

What if the pin came loose and worked its way IN and the ring spun and caught a port?

Could be maybe, them pins are pretty long but I guess over time they could wear short enough to slide.

I've never seen in happen but I've seen lots that were slapping hang and grenade.

Intake skirt will thin and slap and kaboom. The airfilter will kill lots of stihls.

Only cuz the parts guy has a crush on me

Id be interested to know if the pin is still in there CR500 and recessed up in there?

Did it hang in a transfer I guess?

It cut into them pretty deep

Sent from my non internal combustion device.

With diffetent oils mixed up just figured an easy way to tell what is in each can

What are you doing that requires 24:1?

Stumps

 

[mdavlee]

Stumps

Have you tried 800 at their recommended ratios? 50-64:1?

 

[KenJax Tree]

Stumps

I've been cutting stumps for 20 years on the same 32:1-40:1 i've cut everything else with. Nothing has blown up

Ya Im betting it may would combust at 50to1 with minimal load like cutting smaller firewood alit better than 32to1 or 24to1

I guess if a person chooses to use a low ratio and wash the piston it wont cause any harm? I heard Ben mention washing the bearings with too much fuel? I would assume he meant if the fuel wasnt vaporizing and migrating from the oil? I still believe some oils migrate from the fuel easier than others? Klotz being one of them apparent from the lube left in the bottom and good combustion in the top?

At that point, any 2 cycle would be running sooooo rich and slow, it'd probably just stall the chain in the cut

Spending allmost all of its operating time ABOVE 11,000 with a 36" 404 setup, this animal of a ported 661 runs VP 94 and 25:1

I'd rather run a little extra oil in my mix, when the stump squeezes the bar, the saw wont cut anymore. Its already hot enough at a large stump to burn the hairs off my hand and wrist, now, when the bar is squeezed, I'm asking my high rpm monster to go faster...................... I'll take the extra oil please !!

Here she is as of 2 minutes ago, I still havent had time to clean her off ................... I dont see any reason why I should run less oil

Would someone please take some regular 4-stroke motor oil (30 SAE - or lash out and use 10-40wt), mix it up in whatever ratio you want, run the piss out of it in a saw you don't care about - and then get back to us whether the saw blew up...

I know it will tend to coke up the engine, if that worries you then use some freaking ATF.

181 pages of opinions and not one reported failure of any of the many oils discussed. - I remember a discussion about 'parking spaces' at work. The meeting started with an accountant's presentation, no questions, then a sales presentation, no questions - everything continued along until 'parking spaces' hit the agenda - then everyone had an opinion as everyone had parked in a space out in the parking lot....

sounds a lot like an oil thread.

Who said anything about keeping this thread to just oil related failures ?


If you dont like it, dont read it !


It would have taken you less time to unsubscribe to this thread than it did for you to type that arrogant and condescending response

 

[Keith Gandy]

We did have a failure on a 441 yesterday. Who proved it wasnt from oil?

 

[Keith Gandy]

I sure never seen so many opinions from people reading data or have never taken a saw apart or havent taken the time to take a saw apart to test or see what different oils are really doing? I guess if one wants to believe all thats published without first hand knowledge thats fine but I have seen and know better. Some oils migrate better, combust better, and lubricate for less wear better. Its that simple
