What oil is best? and what ratio?

[CoreyB]

It sounded pretty good. Thought it was on the limiter some.

Man I didn't even pick that up. I am really bad with the limited coil.

 

[CoreyB]

The saw sounded a bit fat to me but I have no limited coil saws to compare to.

I was thinking the same but seems like I keep leaning and leaning. I just don't want to go too lean, I would rather be a bit rich then lean.

Does it tune under the limiter by a tach or are you getting a bouncing reading?

It's easier to hear when somebody else is running the saw and you are a little ways away from it

If I tune by tack it is really rich and have to apply some pretty heavy load to get it to clean up.

I figured so. I thought that was the dolmar limiter. Some of them will be on it instantly like ported 7900s

I may have to let.the wife run it then. Sometimes I think I can tell better on video.

I need to video myself sometimes. Good thing is it seems I err on the side of rich by ear.

My saws always sound fat in a video but there not.
Rpm doesn't transfer well in a video,a screaming saw will sound slower on video.

I always wear ear muffs tuning,I can hear what it's doing better

Evaporation cools. That's why gas at the same temp as oil feels cooler. It evaporates at ambient temp. Oil transfers heat very slowly. So I can see why one would say less oil runs cooler.
What happens in practice though, who knows...

Oil must also be evaporated in order to combust and it takes much more heat to evaporate oil vs. gasoline.

Just adjust it tell you get the most torque in the cut. Pretty easy.

LOL that is not easy for me. Is that torque like when you are leaning real hard on it? or when it is self feeding real good?
I don't think I would have the feeling sensory to be able to tell much differences.

 

[CoreyB]

Well I mixed some Dolmar synthetic to run instead of the Echo red armor. I do like that blue color better then the red!
Lol

 

[jake wells]

i got a bottle of jonsered oil mixed has a greenish color thought it would have blue.

They make saws that tune themselves now ya know....

Ya but I would hate to give up such a great saw just to have auto tune. I don't have the funds for a 661 and a 241 won't cover everything I need.

Maybe I could find an unlimited coil

If you boys had to pick and oil/ratio for a tophandle that is shut off and on all the time and seldom has a good load on it other than chunkin down what would that unicorn concoction be ?

 

[KenJax Tree]

I use your favorite klamsoil @ 40:1 and they still get a little oily on the muffler. Not so much chunking down because it has a decent load, but cutting smaller limbs and stuff mine still get oily even with Mtronic on my 201.

Every climb saw i've ever seen has a nasty looking clutch cover.

309 pages???...who knew mixing 2 stroke was so complicated. I've always just used the Echo mix and never had an issue. Should I try something different?...LOL.
