Im lucky enough to have a summit racing not far up the road to get some kl200. I was tempted to try some redline last time. Has anyone tried it?

My uncle used to have a RedLine sponsorship back in the 80's

I ran a few gallons Burned really clean no smoke, tuned easy, barely any smell I like it.
Think I mixed it at 42ish :1

 

[mdavlee]

oh they'll be a retune for sure

Anytime H1R is involved there will be

 

[mdavlee]

I think you're right
Isn't the 2153 the 45cc old version and the 2253 the newer 50cc model?

2253=550.
2146 or 2147 is 346 oe

It is jetted a lil fat for the elevation here.

FYI Alco No Smoke 2 Stroke, Husqvarna LS, and Tanaka Perfect Mix are all the same. Alco is dyed red the other 2 are dyed blue.

In my area I keep being told that the Dolmar and the Makita 2-stroke oil are the SAME, yet they behave different at the same ratio, same fuel source/pump, same chainsaws, same usage.

The Makita oil doesn't burn entirely and excessive oil is being expelled out the muffler port at WOT.

No excessive unburnt oil to speak of when using the Dolmar branded oil.

I kinda like the Makita oil, gives me piece of mind regarding sufficient lubrication.

I am determent to find me some more Makita oil.

Found the 16 ounce VP oil at Walmart today for $6.84. Didn't someone say that this is pretty good oil too? It's a good bit cheaper than red armor so I got some to try

I like the VP

@tp2177 VP is some great oil. I'm sensitive to some oils that make my eyes burn but this exhaust doesn't and it smells good too.

Ran some Klotz R50 at 50:1 in my MS 260 yesterday. Wet exhaust and felt sluggish even at 50:1 with bang on carb tuning.

Cool thanks guys. For the price and ease of availability I may just run this stuff from now on. I do like how red armor doesn't make you smell like 2 stroke when your done using. As long as VP is the same I'm cool with it.

Ran some of the new pro mix full synthetic today.

Its blue! and has what I would describe as a fishy smell in the bottle. When cutting the fumes are not to bad, not nearly as noxious as stihl ultra which gives me a headache, but also not a "sweet" smell like red armor.

I have a can of the VP SEF from walmart, the black can 50:1 and I gotta say it has the most acrid smell, it smells like plastic burning. I am guessing its not the same oil as there new mix that they sell separately since everyone has claimed it has low fumes.

They are using their own oil now that they say the have blended in TX. No smell like motul at all
