What oil is best? and what ratio?

[andyshine77]

Yes I can be rude with the right button pushed. That was on full display and you guys didn't see the 1/2 of it. I went off in the pm exchange. I was called some names as well behind the scenes. It's all good I know the real me.

I try to go out of my way NOT to be rude the rest of the time because I know I don't like it so others don't either. It's all in how you formulate your thoughts into sentences. Up until the other person involved started opening their mouth in the way they do, I think I can say, with full confidence, I have been rude to nobody else on this forum. And nobody else has been rude to me. I've had several dealings with others behind the scenes. Everyone has been helpful. Everything went smoothly.

Yes the ignore button is on and I would twist the knob off it if I could so I don't turn it back on. That's my current mind set.

I've been reflecting on my reaction to the other person involved. Maybe its time they reflect on how they speak to people. A person needs to think, all of us in fact, "would I say that to their face? Just like I typed it?" If no, then maybe they shouldn't be typing it. It's how I roll. What you all saw from me last night is NOT my normal. 99% of the time I'm no different in person than on here. 100% actually because everything I have said or will say here, I'd say in person. That includes last night.

I'm like Randy in that I don't forgive some things and I also won't forget it. I know this much, the few hours today I left my phone in the house and went outside to do whatever was uplifting. No text. No email reminder to come see the lastest update on OPE. I'm starting to get why Randy is stepping back some. And his world involving this place is waaay more involved than I ever would want.

Sorry about the long reply. I think you know it's a possibility coming from me.
Anyway, I'm moving on. It's over and I think keeping that ignore button on is the only way this works for me. Night..see ya when I see ya.

I wanted to let this go. I will not be told how to speak by anyone, you do not dictate what I others do or say. You called me every name in the book after I offered you my phone number. You blocked me but continue the hits. I have apologized, which clearly isn't good enough for you. Be a man quit being a drama queen, you didn't like what is said, took great offense. understood get over it, get back to you testing or move on. I too know my self, as do many here. I don't need this *s-word from some guy I don't know either.

This is the reason I havent been around here for awhile Eggshooter. If u let these things get in your mind it effects life off of here also. There are alot of good people on here Eggshooter and alota people who are interested in your test and counting on and interested in seeing these tests through. Its easy for a man to get his pride and ego dented in here but remember the human variables, elements and opinions we deal with in all of us. Prayers brother

Oil threads always bring the drama.

Y'all have fun.

Checking back out.....

 

[RI Chevy]

Just gotta use the wind to your advantage. Stand upwind, set up the tool down wind. [emoji16]

 

[RI Chevy]

Gotta improvise, adapt and overcome. For the good of the order. Lol
Be creative. Lol

 

[RI Chevy]

Have fun. I'm just a forum guy. Don't really know what I'm doing. Just a hack. [emoji16]

 

[porsche965]

Shooter, IF you start testing Koehler you'll be smashing the flush lever instead of the ignore button.

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow. They aint cheap...

 

[CR888]

Shooter yes I do still have a poulan 3314 that's ported advanced and tuned real sharp. Also a poulan 250 handheld blower. Both on 100:1 for several gallons. Never took all the way down but have looked at them through intake and exhaust. All i have to say about the residual oil is rpm and load dictate ratio. In this case I think the rpm is making the residual oil stay in the case instead of the crank throwing it ok the transfers if spinning fast at 12000 vs 4500 of the heavy loaded trimmer. Bet if he put the stock spool on for 1 tank at 9500 and residual would be gone at 200:1

Correct observation. Load & sustained rpm do dictate oil requirements. Eggshooters tests can be explained/understood with a little thought. I hope he hangs around and feels appreciated for his contributions whether his testing is industry grade or backyard Jo. Good to see Keith back in town..I like his new battery gizmos, my father in law is about to buy a Still battery pole saw he's got the blower. The battery km-130 Kieth got looks ideal. Could use it as a hedge trimmer and line trimmer too. Them RC cars look like seriously fun toys.

Good to see Keith back in town..I like his new battery gizmos, my father in law is about to buy a Still battery pole saw he's got the blower. The battery km-130 Kieth got looks ideal.

Let your FIL know the stand alone units wear the battery which is about 2.5 lbs as opposed to the Kombi unit weight is unit only minus the battery which u wear on a belt/shoulder harness system that bears the 2.5lbs instead of holding it on the unit. The weedeater has 3 power levels and on 3 the unit is comparable in power to my FS250, its no joke. I weedeat my yard on #1 which is plenty of power

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool hobby though...[emoji106]

This will be my re-entry to the hobby..keep in mind, this is car only. Full race kit. No engine, not radio ect. Race Roller is a rolling chassis that you assemble yourself. How I like it. The nice thing about this rig is ut pretty much needs no after market goodies to make it hold up. I'll drop a 30cc ported Zenoah engine that is 6hp and blow the tires off the rims. Oh what fun.

Damn that looks like fun!! I want one now...

I've not been into see the latest and greatest battery stuff, I usually avoid that area. But I have 2 kombi gas units and a solo system with all the attachments that has served me well. They get heavy real quick when your holding the unit above shoulder height with 2 extensions & a pole saw or hedge attachment. Being able to strap some weight to your body is a serious plus! I'm going to pass this on for sure and steer him into the kombi. It says a lot that you did away with all you gas gear and couldn't be happier! I might go battery next too, it seems the power and weight are finally up to the job. Just last week I had a pole saw above my head in a funky position WFO with the hot exhaust port directed at face. Even with class 5 Peltors it wasn't exactly quiet screaming at wot a few inches from my ears. I should go battery myself for some of my OPE...saws I just couldn't do it, I like the 2T's too much.

[RI Chevy]

Is there really a difference between on road and off road Motul 800?

 

[full chizel]

I’m wondering how Motul Road Racing would perform compared to Off-Road. Its made for longer periods at WOT.

i can’t get on board with the battery stuff either. My FIL has some and the sound annoys the hell outta me.

I had reservations at first but sold all my fueled equipment and took the plunge. Be sure to get the AL500 fast charger and the AP500S long reserve batteries. They also make a backpack battery unit that is 1000US$ but they say it will hold a charge all day in a commercial use enviroment

I wouldn't go back now that Ive tried the battery but get the topend Stihl line and not the lowerend homeowners. Id feel like I was taking a step backwards knowing the difference now

 

[full chizel]

I’ll stick with gas as long as they’re selling it.

 

[huskihl]

You do realize I'll need a protection detail if some $1.99 walmart oil in a white bottle thats just say 2 stroke oil in black on the container out does someones "precious" pet oil. Just sayin.

I am interested in the Walmart full synthetic stuff. It’s cheap and easy for anyone to get
