I’ve been using Husqvarna xp for quite some time. Recently saw a video posted by Hotsaw101. He didn’t give it a good review at all. Kinda has me wondering.

This is a local loggers 395 ran for 2 yrs on XP. Saw was new when it left here.

That's close.

Non ethanol, same place I buy mine.

So I guess I shouldn’t continue wif xp oil?

That's up to you.

His latest 395 nor his backup are not running on xp after he seen inside of that one.

Was she tuned on rich side? That’s a lot of buildup.

What ratio was he using? 50:1, 40:1?

 

[super3]

32:1 tuned right out on the edge.

 

[RI Chevy]

Maybe he needs to richen the tune just a little? Might keep it a bit cleaner.

I know its a strange question but what color does the Yamalube turn your gas?

Just darkens it. It's noticable at 40:1, but no pretty colors.

 

[super3]

On the edge to me is... if you lean it out more while still 4 stokin and the cut time slows down.

Same tune on his latest on different oil, same gas @ 11 months shows no signs of build up. Just nice light carbon on top of piston.

Dolmar is nice and blue and my computer saws run fine with it at 40:1

 

[Chainganger]

Amazon has a 5 gallon pail of Schaeffers 9000 2 cycle oil for $112 delivered to your door
Anyone near St Paul/Mpls want to go in on one?

This saw had over 2000 hrs on it.

 

[RI Chevy]

Good deal.
