What oil is best? and what ratio?

[CR500]

Just ran a couple of tanks of 2R in a 290 that I put in a carb kit in for a customer on the side

Like the color for insurance purposes. Saw seemed to like it, saw runs good just does not have the response of the 7900


I still like the stuff!!!!

Sent from my non internal combustion device.

It ran the same in all my saws. AT, MT, regular, and even in my weedwacker

2R 32:1 in all my money saws

Rock on with 32:1

What does the piston look like? I picked up one of those for cheap but the piston was trashed. I heard those mowers are bulletproof.

I vote a carb mod to get your adjustments.
All in favor of a carb mod say I

Port it

 

[jake wells]

it is a scavenged loop piston ported engine. i pulled the muffler to clean the carbon out of the port this piston looks excellent but the frame is junky.
i much prefer a lawnboy deck.

Ok guys I can get Husky oil from the dealer at a good price. He has XP that Husky refers to as their best oil or I can get Low Smoke which is JASO FD certified. Which one do you choose if the price is the same? The MSDS shows that they have the same base components but at different mixtures.

XP is better than the LS oil it burns clean and has no odor that i can detect.

Thanks for the info. I have been using the XP oil but haven't tried the LS yet.

I just finished up a gallon of valvoline at 32:1 with 91 efree.

Saws ran and tuned perfect on it. I'd say it's good oil.

Back to benol at 40:1 now
