What oil is best? and what ratio?

Pics....

Ugly greenish black must be how saber looks after use. Looks like its cleaned most of the brown varnish off the cylinder compared to original pictures. Might be above the ring and exhaust port some too. Idk. The look doesn't blow me away but I started with an old engine with deposits. Guess we shall see.

I’ve been meaning to buy one of theseView attachment 238622

I have one being delivered here on Monday. Found one at 50% off because the box it’s in was dented.

They used to be $12 or something like that a couple years ago.

I can’t believe they’re $30 now. They’re cool, but not worth $30. Lol.

Twice as expensive as a Yankee Candle and half the size.

Saber at any ratio I run between 20-50:1 left carbon as quick as 5-10 cuts in a cant. It seemed to leave plenty down on the big end at the higher ratios. I always tune a little leaner than a lot of people unless I’m milling. Then they get turned down a good bit depending on which saw it was.

I'm game for cleaning it and see what it does.

 

[RI Chevy]

Or run heavy dose of RA at 25:1 for a bit and see if it clears it up.

Nah...Fuggem...

I'm going back to look at the original pictures.....

Ill bet the top of the piston is sooty/ashy

Blowby? Needs new rings?

Weedeaters dont burn as clean as a saw will with the same fuel mix

I'll catch all kinds of s hit if I don't run it as is.

If you don't clean it, you won't know how much it builds up

I'm back and forth on this clean or not to clean.

Leave it

 

[Keith Gandy]

You can't get rid of me that easy.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Besides I could do more damage with carbon getting in the cylinder accidentally than letting nature take its course.

I agree. Dont wanna give anybody a reason to cry when the blue oil goes kaboom

 

[Keith Gandy]

I think maybe most these oils will run at 100:1. Maybe just start at 200to1?

Nah...Fuggem...

Best answer

Thats where I'm leaning. Its Saber boogers in that there port. IMO. Run it.

I say keep running it myself
