Anything being discussed here that wasn't discussed 100x in the most epic oil thread in AS history ?[emoji1]
Yes to me it is. Thoso 2 sets of pics I posted show the same saw run the same way with the same fuel at the same ratio and what the oil alone did in the saw. Different oils act differently in saws

So what if the solvents in 2r did account for something? What if 32:1 2r would really be like running 40:1 ?

Keith would you be willing to run this simple test?

Run 2r the same way at 25:1 and let's see the pattern on the piston top

then
Run hp2 at 40:1 and let's see the pattern on the piston top.

Do the same everything you did with the earlier 32:1 test.
I will but may take me some time as work has me tied

Thanks everyone for the interesting reading. I save this thread for lunch time each day. The updates each 24 hours seem to be the perfect amount for my "mental break".

Not to ruin your day Redbull, but HP2 does contain the dreadful solvent..

oh I know. It's not that I don't like them. It's just I think they should be accounted for as part of figuring out how much oil to use.
I think you worry to much about inconsequential stuff.. just go cut wood!
