I use this detergent

I use this detergent

My wife likes to wash with that @ 32to1!! It makes tha clothes smell good!!

 

[Moparmyway]

I can smell that from here.

My kids want to know when I'm going to play, they love smelling it too !!

I've got a ton of 2 cycle oil now .............. probably wont use it all in one year, and probably wont use some of it at all.
I like 2R .............. just about no smell and once its warm, there really aint no smoke.
Nothing choking ya. Thanks @bwalker !!

$10-$11/qt

I'd love to know if that's the same stuff as Shindaiwa One. Cause I got an ass ton of that.

@Wilheim
Most guys here run about 40:1 mixture. I have never used the Makita 2 stroke oil. Probably the same as Dolmar, but I am just guessing.
I think the tune is just as important as the oil. Just be sure the your saw is tuned properly.

Both, Makita and Dolmar oil, might come out the same factory, but they are not identical - not as far as I can tell!
I'll see any difference once I'm back to Dolmar oil.

Saws are 4-stroking nicely at WOT no load and are below the rpm limiter - thus tune should be OK.

The Makita oil I am currently finishing off seems to wash out carbon nicely.
Come to think of it I might pull the muffler and take a look before I switch back to Dolmar oil.

Be sure to take a few pics of your piston while you have the muffler off.

Witch's brew.. bubble bubble, toil and trouble.

@Moparmyway ... I take it that's going in a big ass milling saw..

 

[KenJax Tree]

Is that Cam2 oxygenated? If so it is about 15% ethanol

I'd say that the 25:1 is about perfect

Cam 2 110ll is not oxygenated
