What oil is best? and what ratio?

[full chizel]

Is this RA the new stuff or old?

Seems like the new stuff. If it were the old, everything on the inside and outside of the trimmer, including a 4’ diameter patch on the ground would’ve been dyed red by now. That stuff is messier than Dirko

This Is my first time using it as it was donated. I'm using it at 40:1 in another trimmer and these tests. I have never even seen the original in person.

The color is the same new and old formula

 

[Keith Gandy]

Appears the carbon almost disappeared around the piston crown?

So is Amsoil’s claim of 100:1 really not that crazy?

 

[Keith Gandy]

In person it looks almost identical to the RA100. The lightening and phone were not cooperating today. Much longer and I might have needed a new phone.

If a fuel leak is present it will show itself. RED!!!

In low output engines like trimmers with lower rpm, small displacement and rich tuning, it's clear you can get buy, many on the lawn site have. But as always there is no benefit in it IMHO, and I posted the pictures of what can happen in a 70cc saw. IMHO something else is happening here we're not fully aware of. Remember this is the internet, not everything we see is always real. No way will you see that much oil in the case at 200:1 unless their is more oil actually in the fuel or the tuning is insanity rich. I don't see that much oil in the bottom of the case with many oils mixed at 50:1 The math is just not working here guys! Think about it. I know others are thinking it and are just too afraid to say anything.

i have no idea about any of this. I've always mix 40:1 and never gave anything much thought.

@Keith Gandy
Oh it's blood red alright. And the carbon is still on the piston. Fuel leak?

Im saying if there was a fuel leak

 

[jakethesnake]

Where's the 32:1 crew at?

I’m still here.

 

[andyshine77]

Feel free to try it yourself there bud.

I'm not that stupid, the math is not working plain and simple, something else is at work here. I've already seen what 100:1 does.

Again no need to name call this is not really important stuff in the big picture.[emoji111]

 

[jakethesnake]

I’m digging these tests. If nothing else it’s entertaining. I think it’s showing some differences in different oil. No chance I’m backing off the 32:1 for my larger saws.

 

[andyshine77]

I’m still here.

As am I! and anyone that actually has real experience.

 

[jakethesnake]

To be fair a loaded 88cc saw under a good load is going to need that oil vs a smaller trimmer. I do dig the testing though. I think it’s cool

The amount of time involved is commendable, and no offense to the man, but there are more questions here than answers IMHO.

I'll just leave this where it is and move on, I've said my part and have little else to add.

Like i said...i have no idea. I’ll keep watching.

K2 next. Really enjoying this thread. Loads of mental masturbation going on lol

 

[andyshine77]

I'll tell y'all this, if you fellas think I'm going through this trouble to pull the wool over all your eyes for some unknown reason then speak now unless AS speaks for all of you. I have ZERO issue continuing this on my own and sharing with those ACTUALLY interested in what this might bring to the surface via PM's.

Please continue, I only speak for myself.

I’m interested in this stuff I think it’s a pretty cool test. I’m not smart enough to understand why things are going the way they are. I’m here to see which one seems to be the best at the end. And hopefully a total failure or two. Carry on. I’ve been reading all of it.
