What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Moparmyway]

I NEVER heard of 240 psi, (maybe 150-175 max compression)

Saber oil update ,the images i posted earlier were after a bunch of limbing ,about 8 trees worth ,very light load maybe 1/3 throttle blipping the limbs off ,i bucked 3 trees into firewood last night ,shut the saw off after a wide open cut without idling so i could see the plug loaded ,is much cleaner when loaded ,but the edge is still sooty ,and the muffler can still has some soot like a wood stove pipe would get ,the mobil 1 did not do this or the 2 r yamalube when i looked inside ,anyone have explanation why saber leaves so much soot behind ?

When each post is an entry to win a new saw..., PLUS "opinions are like ... h...."

There are opinions and there are facts. The problem with this site and others is guys through out opinions that are not based in fact. Regurgitating alot of old wives tales and patent falsehoods. This does no one anygood.

Those older Stihl's are pretty dirty running machines. When combined with the light load and an nook formulating to run at high ratios it's no supprise what you observed.

Any reason the mx2t ran cleaner at low rpm limbing ? The saber does have nice throttle response ,and pulls hard in the cut ,as for performance it is good in my opinion ,reminds me of what stihl mix would leave behind almost .

I think you eliminated saber for me.

 

[bwalker]

Because its a cleaner burning oil.
Formulating an oil to run at 100:1 involves a series of tradeoffs. Cleanliness at lower ratios is a by product.

for those that haven't seen this. Here is the 1st test. In this test I used the 28" bar and .404 RS full comp. For the next test - if the 661 is NOT ported, I'll be doing 36" 3/8ths RS full comp but with 8pin. If it is ported I'll probably do 36" .404 RS.

I guess I figured .404 RS 28" would be plenty of load. But I am thinking 36" will be even more and may just show more of a difference...if there is any.

Too late there is 2 bottles in with your 066 ,lol

I'll use it then.

He can send it to Mustang! Lol! I know he likes it alot

The saw actually makes real good power with it .

 

[mdavlee]

I'll give some a shot. I'll probably try it out in the 046 milling. Might get to work up a 50" poplar here before long as well. Guy wants it quartered to fit his bandmill.

How clean is plug and internals with the hp2 Redbull ?

 

[mdavlee]

I posted some pictures from HP2 several pages back.

pics attached - this was after 3 or 4 tanks I think. I have 11 or 12 now.

I think this weekend...

- I have a 661 only run on schaeffers 32:1 6 or 7 tanks run only with muff mod
- I have a 661 only run on honda hp2 32:1 11 or 12 tanks run only with muff mod

like to find the time to take the jugs off and see what things look like.

watch your temps. I think this stuff ran the hottest for me. but I was running 42:1.

 

[mdavlee]

I just wonder how hot is too hot for these? I don't have a way to attack a heat sensor to watch it constantly in the cut.

When you hear lean popping and ambers shooting out the exhaust ,it may be too hot.

Milling at night the stock flat front cover glows sometimes ,the dual port one does not .
