Mine smokes for a few seconds then cleares right out.

Does the cap screw down tight @SOS Ridgerider

If so I’ll just buy by the gallon and take that with me to the pump. My ratio right cup doesn’t have a lid

It's ok. I wouldn't say it's spill proof. Tight enough to swirl the gas around in it to mix the last drops of oil with a splash of gas, but not tight enough to really shake it.
If left upright and stable I'd be comfortable travelling with it. Laying on its side or upside down it'll definitely leak.

Good enough for the cup holder in the front seat!!!

Could always put an o-ring in the cap.

You ever try the 32:1 in your mtronic Mike?
Mine does well on it.

I’ve never agreed with the theory that mtronic needs less oil to run

Computer controlled saws often don't like 32:1. Saber at 40:1 seems to work very well (and lube just great) in everything.

They run fine on it here. Other than a 261. But it didnt like 50:1 either

My quart jug seals tight....

No rinsing, either.
If I'm mixing 2 gallons, and it's at 22oz in the jug, I dump til it reads 14oz. When the jug doesn't have enough I add more.

Using Ratio Wrongs since the early 70's

So you take the quart with you. hmmm That sounds too simple ...

I like it

I used to. The quart stayed in the tool box. Now I fill a 6 gallon can and mix a gallon or 2 at home as I need it

I've never run richer than 40:1, but Saber at 40:1 lubricates just great, so there is no need.

Others have reported problems with M Tronic with richer mixes, but I believe is was oil dependent (some oils were OK richer, others not).

I just use what works for me. I have had builders rip down my saws and say there were well oiled, that is all that matters.

It is mostly depending on tune. If you tune yours saws a bit on the rich side, then 50:1 is even sufficient.

I was referring to the computer controlled saws.

I guess someone should let this guy know that he needs to use a different 2 cycle oil ??

 

[Nutball]

Tired of measuring your oil? Don't know when to use 32:1 vs 50:1??

Take out the guess work and

JUST USE 70:1!!


At least it's easy to use 2 for 35:1

BTW my Echo bottles had consistently just under 2.5oz, so either my measuring cup is off, or they're shorting me.
