What oil is best? and what ratio?

[bwalker]

I realize there aren't issues with detonation typically with chainsaws, I was thinking of if the saw developed an air leak it may save the cylinder.
If a saw is run often, is the moisture affinity going to be able to cause any real issues? I put my saws up with trufuel for long term storage.
How does it burning "dirty" hurt the saw, and what does "dirty" mean?
Harder to turn? Not as slippery? Engine has to work harder to spin?
The separation issue I get.

Burning dirty leads to ring groove deposits which leads to increased wear. Metal when exposed to combustion residue and moisture can form rust very rapidly. As in over night.

And castor probably won't stop most lean seizures.
The operator can and should stop a lean seizure from happening as it's pretty easy to tell when a engine is running lean.

Is 4500 t0 7000 miles a lot to put on a sled? I can recall as a kid putting 30 to 50 thousand miles on two stroke bikes. and seen a couple others with more.I know for a fact we didn't buy no expensive oil. probably the cheapest stuff we could find.

Yea, it is. A sled is under much heavier load and pulling alot more sustained rpm than a bike due to its CVT transmission. Also the output is much higher than those older two cycle bikes.

Yes, we have decided to go green and run no oil. Anti-oil for the win!

Not yet, which has a more Redolent Fragrance.

Oil is only good for burning brush, especially castor.

I had an old Suzuki Water Buffalo, I think it had 52'000 on it when I got rid of it. Still run good but it would smoke pretty good when you got in the throttle. Looked just like this one. I didn't put all the miles on it, it had over thirty thousand when I got it. I had it to 125 mph one time.

That's not a problem they make fruity smelling additives for that.

That one is not mine, but it looked exactly the same. I really didn't care for the color. got it cheap though.

Unreal!! My dad just sold his water buffalo's he had that same bike for years!! That must be a 1972? He had a blue 1974 also. In 03 we left Pittsburgh and we rode to the left coast and he rode the blue 74. He dumped any and every 2 stroke oil in it. He bought the cheapest stuff he could find. He put thousands and thousands of miles on 2 strokes over the years and trust me he always used cheap oil.

I've got pictures someplace.....
