He is gonna tell u the same as everyone else . Low octane= more power, klotz is some of the best oil he has used, and there is suppose to be carbon on the piston!!!:eek::cunaooooo:
Use the cheapest fuel and oil in your saws and they'll still work. Ask a Logger. They cut more in two weeks than we cut in a year.

I'm interested in your results.
Lol! I think we have determined that most oils are adequate. I recently started using amsoil saber since I'm starting to port saws. I've never seen a failure though due to oil. I bought the benol cuz I'm not crazy about the saber smell, it's not bad, but Jason says benol smells great.
So my results will be one smells better than the other. I already know that they are both good oil.
And I run 50:1 in case anyone cares.

What's "to long"? After that's defined, run the saw on the higher octane until it's adjusted or calibrated. Easy fix.
Correct! But the test that was already done is inconclusive. It needs to be redone.
Maybe I'm all wet... It won't be the first or last time.
I run 87 in everything. Unless I hear it pinging. My dad buys 93-4 octane for his saws. If I use his mix I feel a difference. And it's not better.
But it's a seat of the pant feeling so I've got nothing to back it up.

I know my test was a joke. 4 cuts with each octane with non reset and human variables and bad technique? Cmon!! Please scratch my test
Just because you didn't like the results doesn't mean it wasn't valid. Were Redbull's results also invalid?

Your test was consistent with Redbull's. How long did you let your saw idle or run on each octane before making the cuts?

But 93 was slower than 91 but 91 faster than 87. U r misconstruing thoso tests to fit your agenda. I would believe his test over mine that we r referring to but I could follow through with a more reliable test now but its a waste of my time. In his test we r talkin about less than .5 sec

87 was the slowest. That's all I'm saying. You need to be open-minded to learn.

If I ever test different octanes again I'll report my results. My agenda is to report my findings.
