Been so long since i ran that stuff ,can not remember if i liked 32 or 40 to 1 better ,i do remember it liked to be tuned rich like 1/4 to half a turn more to tune out my saw .

End of the thread.


Your previous poast said all there was left to be said about oil for chainsawing.

Ya I had to run the h out too but it ran good with almost no smell

It'll work, but certainly not needed[emoji6]

With 90cc saws spinning at 13,000 in the cut, I'll take all the extra protection that I can get

I used to think the same thing .

The oil debate will never be settled. Too many variables.

We'll give it hell trying though. Plus, there's lots of other interesting stuff in this thread. Bike's, quad's, dinner, etc...

The almost no smell is nice if slab milling or using a fence post drill where you are close to the exhaust ,the blue saber stuff will mess with my nose a bit if drilling for fence posts

The Dumonde is the least offensive of any oil Ive ran but the kl200 isnt far behind but does have more smell than Dumonde if cornered

I havent yet Brian. 12hrs on a d9 and a shop waiting with OPE to repair when I get home hadnt left me much time

Royal purple and valvoline have no smell

 

[jmssaws]

My saws actually run the best and tune the easiest on valvoline.

That's why the oil debate will never end. Do you want a soaking wet crankcase with bike oil or run good and tune easily with multi purpose oil? Way too many variable to call any single one the "best"
