Seeing your posts wants me go try and use a mineral oil in my ported saws.

Ben any thought on this? Should I go back to 2R or Super M?

Also I do remember Mobil1 not storing well.

So for storage I could mix up some 2R and run a tank of fuel of it and fog away?

Neither 2R or super am are mineral oils. It's actually pretty hard to find a straight mineral oil now days.
2R is certainly never a bad choice.

Anyone add Sea Foam to there mix?

I have on stuff that hasn't ran awhile before along with marvel mystery oil and Lucas upper cyclinder lubricant stuff

The last tank of gas I run before storage I add an OZ or so of MMO.

Most use mineral oils, including Red Armor. However, most are blended with other synthetic base stocks. This isn't a bad thing and offers some advantages.
You would have to do allot of digging to find a two cycle oil formulated with only mineral oils.

Also have an anaconda and yes my fil loved to load hot loads with H110 behind 240 gr hornady xtps. Everybody always thought I was nuts for shooting such hot loads. Shot several deer with this load. They dropped like they got hit with by a Mack truck.

My old gp100 was a flame thrower with hot loads and rifle rounds. I mis that old gun

Non ethanol fuel and let you saw idle for a while it will load up and lube everything. or crc engine store fogging oil but you might break a pull rope unless you flood your saw with fresh mix

@bwalker when you say you run 2t is that motul 800 or 710 your talking about

I run ledgend zx2 sr oil at 32 :1 . Im sure it would be fine at 40:1 but its well priced and smells good so i dont mind the extra oil. It realy is good stuff and leaves the engine super clean inside. Iv used it in snowmobiles and boatmotors and it actualy does cause them to idle a bit higher. Never had any issues due to lubrication using it.

Religiously

I don't know why or how it works, it just does. We had a chipper that was running like *s-word, the mechanic dumped in some sea foam and that thing smoked like a freight train for about 15 minutes and it ran like a champ after that.

I tried a few tank fulls of Amsoil Saber in 2 different saws. To be honest, I felt that Motul 800 was a little better. A little smoother running. Just me I guess. I am not even sure what to look for, but just going by my seat of the pants feel when running the saws.
Let's see what I have to try next.
