[Moparmyway]

I thought your meniscus was in your knee. Lol

Probably spilled a half a tank or more of fuel & mix

Wow an oil thread that is educational.

Next thing you know someone will be worrying about our sanity.

I was using echo red armor oil. 40:1 for weedeaters and 32:1 for lawn boys and chainsaws. I liked that it was cleaning out the carbon as I ran it. But in the lawn boys I was fouling spark plugs constantly. Is there a better option for cleaning out carbon without going through a couple spark plugs a month? I switched to Lucas oil for the 32:1 stuff.

Many here have said Lucas runs dry. They stopped using it...
Maybe try Motul 800. At 40:1.

Lucas sucks as storage oil. It leaves a dry white film. Any semi synthetic or even full mineral oil is better for storage than these ester blends. My saws are sitting for months and months now and I’ve even used Stihl orange bottle with canned gas for them. I would try motul 710 over the 800. It will be so thick and if it doesn’t fully combust it’s going to make a goo in the engine. Same with lots super techniplate or R50 more than likely.

Any thoughts on this stuff at 32:1 in lawn boys?

I would say castor isn’t a good choice in them. It will leave a mess too if not tuned perfectly.

 

[brandonstclair20]

I ordered a quart of klotz super techniplate. I’ll run it at 32:1

You could probably get away with 40:1. More than enough...

 

[junkman]

If i remember right ,lawnboys use marine boat oil ?

I might do that so I don’t have to keep 2 separate cans of gas in the garage

Hm...710 is full ester though.

It is but burns much easier in low output 2 strokes. I used a bit of it in saws and it burnt easier than 800 just cutting firewood. 800 needs long milling cuts to burn.

I use 510 which is ester blend. It's good and clean up some old carbon from old saws.
