I've used it and it's good oil, but it doesn't have rust inhibitors in it. It says on the bottle not to use it in boats If the motor isn't torn down frequently. I've read in more than one place about dirt bikes having rusty cranks from using it but i've never actually saw it myself.

I suppose if it gonna be used a quite a bit its ok but if it sits frequently it might start rusting.

Chris do u notice any differences, mixes easier, smokes less, tuning, etc. Between Saber and Red Armor?

I haven't noticed any difference other than my MTronic 201T smoked a little more with Saber when its first started in the morning but it could be running a little fatter than the others, no difference after about 30 seconds.

I was in the Honda shop anyway. For under $8 I'll try it this winter.

No I haven't. It runs great, and doesn't smoke with Red Armor. Its only about the first 30 or so seconds after cold starting in the morning and even then its just a little bit.
My fs460c was alil boggy on the trigger and I reset it and presto! Instant throttle! That didnt help when I was cutting with it behind the house in the woods and about 20 yellowjackets tagged me this morning !! Lol!! I was running and stripping at the same time!!!! They were stuck to me head to toe

I'm not a fan of resetting these saws unless there is a real reason for it.

I have started using 40:1 rather than 32:1........think of all the money I'm saving now.
I didnt have a clue how to fix this lil off idle bog but it worked

You can always justify another saw.
