What oil is best? and what ratio?

Search John Riley's vids.
His saws are unreal.

I was at a local chainsaw race and saw one of the saws with a nitrous kit on it. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it run. Probably would have been impressive when he hit that switch in the wood.

 

[RI Chevy]

I think he just runs 40:1

I think nitromethane is enough for a 2511t, you could probably blow one up with nitro and no supercharger.

What web site are you using? I still get 404 error using the website on the jug of oil. There is this, http://www.bluemarbleofmi.com/?Display=home
but he is just the distributor for Michigan. He didn't even know the company's site no longer exist. The parent company, Envirofuels L.P. won't answer phones, and most of the numbers are disconnected.

That is the site I visited and I guess I didn’t realize it was just a distributor

Oh well...

I buy the Saber in Gallon jugs … cost less.

I just saved some of the smaller bottles and fill them up and I can take a couple with me.

Plus it will take me quitea long time to use the 12 I have.

Just start milling some hardwood and that problem will be resolved.

 

[3browns]

I thought about it. Just tired of the ratio rite hassle.

I like these bottles

I got mine at Home Depot with some cheap oil I just dumped in my motorhome

Mine holds 16 oz and measures 1 to 4 oz

I refill from quarts of oil

Yup. That's what was reading after i already tried it at 40.

3browns, I had those cox engines as well. And quite afew larger nitro engines in rc cars. None that I had were ringed. There is a slight taper fit at the top of the cylinder. That taper and the oil seal it up pretty effectively. There are ringed nitro motors as well but I think most of those are in helicopters and planes.

I tried it at 32:1 milling and it did burn and leave a hard carbon on the piston. But it did protect extremely well. The smell was pretty strong and I went away from it for that.

Your gonna be a busy guy...

 

[Nutball]

There won't be as much wear on the bearings without a load (I don't know if you have a load on it).

 

[mdavlee]

From what I've read though, if you are milling or stumping smell, or lack there of, is of high importance.

It’s big time importance when you burn a tank in 9-10 minutes and only let up to set a wedge if you’re by yourself.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah that could get old fast with stank a$$ oil

For sure. The most I ever burned was 2.5 gallons in about 2 hours. I ran out or I’d burned more. It was red armor and the log was wide enough and long enough I had to refuel mid cut.

I say skip pictures that aren’t carnage or piston and plugs.

 

[3browns]

Yup

We wants death and destruction

For blowing up, I'd put a load on that engine (short circuited hydraulic pump, or large model airplane propeller) and run a very rich mixture of 30% nitro glow fuel through it.

 

[Nutball]

No, but mixing in gas could work too. The hard part would be getting it rich enough on nitro

Pump gas and nitro don’t mix together. Buying RC fuel with methanol is the best way to go.

I've found nitro to stay mixed in gas long enough for a tank of run time, but that was in very low concentrations.

Any way you could get some butane into the fuel? I've heard that gasoline sometimes contains butane and that this can cause it to boil in the fuel tank.

If not butane, what about feeding propane straight in through the air intake? You'd need more oxygen to get proper combustion, but I'm thinking that nitromethane could supply the extra oxygen...
