It's not all mine. It's Me and my family, my sister, and my parents live on the same property. In all 80 acres. Been in our family since the 60's

3 glugs and a splash is all you need per gallon.[emoji12]

The exhaust port wiped out with a paper towel just a little soft carbon sludge.
I know one thing if there is a better oil out there i haven't seen it especially for the as of now low price i'm sure it will go up.

Excellent Stihl Ultra oil . Bottom ring land cleaned and top 1/2 cleaned to show buildup. Top ring was stuck

I never had any trouble with stihl ultra just headaches lol
But I've worked on a few saws with stuck rings using ultra i didn't know what their mix was but myself no problems.

I suspect tune and low rpm operation a culprit with that oil

I think it has a lot to with the freshness of the fuel. We run ultra in our rental equipment from chop saws to trimmers and never had any carbon build up. But on customers equipment I've seen some gummed up pistons all the way down the skirts. I don't know what oil they use sometimes but the gas stinks. I'm not saying ultra is the best or cheap but I think it's got something to do with fuel and tune a lot of the times. I also hate the smell

Another thing to consider winter fuel here in wva because of the additives will kind of boil in a saw or any ope when it gets to a certain temp outside i don't know if they do that to fuel everywhere.

Gotta run a fuel stabilizer in pump gas. There are a few good ones out there.

Yeah i know but you would be suprised at how many people don't and blame the machines lol

 

[mdavlee]

I've never run stabilizer in the e free fuel I get.

thinking back on all the stuff I've tested so far. These two probably impress me the most.

Chit this reminds me. I just pulled a topend so a guy could use the crankcase for a rebuild.

I will go take a pic. Was Klotz KL-200 32:1 pump gas ethanol, run rich like I do. In a 60cc Poulan 365. Was last used Oct 2016 and has 20-25 tanks through it.

Me neither but my fuel doesn't get a chance to go stale lol

I've kept fuel as long as 9-12 months in the VP fuel quarts jugs. I refill them with 87 and klotz original.
