You running the Benol at 40:1 still Jason?

Been running everything at 32:1

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow. OK
What do you have to do to the tune to make it work? Without all the spooge.

Ive never had any oil spooge.
Spooge is a tune problem not a oil one.

 

[RI Chevy]

I guess spooge is a far too fat tune? Should I Lean it up some?

I dont like the fact they took the Ester out but Im sure its still one of the better oils out

Good move IMO. I don't see the need for esters in OPE and there are downsides.

guess im going back to used motor oil at 16:1

When I ran Saber I was tuned on the rev limiter hard. Like bounced past the limiter and hit 14,500 on a 13,500 saw. And was still getting some build up at the exhaust. I was scared to go any leaner.

 

[Terry Syd]

What mineral oil are you using?

I get it from our Co-op. I looked up who made it years ago, forget now, but it was a major company - it has blue dye...

Tuning one faster doesn't necessarily mean that it's not fat.
The low is usually the problem

How it's tuned and operated are what makes them slobber.
Little bit fat on the low combined with some idle time and it will slobber

Wet stacking.... I just like saying that...

Castrol maybe? The one i'm using is Castrol and has blue dye.

Its called 'Bynorm' and is made by Stens. It is an FD rated oil "suitable for all air-cooled two-stroke power equipment" - and by Australian standards it is fairly cheap, $17 per litre. I run it at the 'metric' 33-1. (that's 150ml oil to 5 litres of petrol)

Any photos of the bottle?

Ahhh you're in AUS. We don't have that here

i converted my mix for you
236.5 ml to 7.5 liters

all stens oil in the usa is blue to dark blue.

So you run a mix of 31.71247 to 1. I'm impressed with your precision.

The 150ml is easy to measure for a 5 litre jug - thus I called it a 'metric' measure. If I was mixing ounces and gallons I'd probably be using 32 to 1.

Never saw Bynorm though.
