What oil is best? and what ratio?

[P.M.P.]

Yes...
Can you run a test with no oil in one of your Dollies for us?

You into no lube

No sir. Imma 32:1, 36:1 guy

Nah, that'd be sacrilege!
They're angels and goddesses of chainsaws.

But any Stihl will do, they're a dime a dozen and I got no boat anyway.
I'd record it too.

Them Hooskies have a built in safety feature, they fall apart before they manage to seize.

More friction, watch Crank 1 & 2.

LOL. Slow, painful death...

I've used a good amount of Powerblend, and it's done just fine. Wouldn't hesitate using it again.

Cook your breakfast on it. Fry some eggs. Lol
Cool tests...

BM200 test over at 9 hours and 6 minutes. The air filter in place reduced fuel consumption by a full quart plus a full trimmer tank. So it blew almost a quart into the air during BM100 without one. Good to know.
Anyway, temps just b4 shut down as well as the vid. Still 55°. Never moved off 55 all damn day.
1) crank case
2) cylinder

Teardown tomorrow.

Man, 55 degrees all day. I would love that. It got up to 85 here. I hate hot weather. It makes my head leak.

I used that stuff @ 32:1 for years .............. before I learned that there was "forum oils"

No failures of any kind to report

 

[porsche965]

Remarkable.

300:1 Blue Marble test hopefully tomorrow.

Pictures look good but I dont like the builup around the ring but would it be there at 50to1

 

[Keith Gandy]

Amazingly it still has excellent compression.
I ran 10-11 gallons of this oil @36:1 in my echo leaf blower from new. Piston wet, no build up on the sides. Thin layer of soft carbon in the exhaust port. No pics so guess you can take it as you wish.

Ill take carbon on top of the piston anyday over carbon in the ring land. If it keeps building there it will lay that piston and cylinder down

After it surpasses 800 and Saber....a full mineral oil no less.

That very informative article posted here the other day that was done by a cycle mag that showed more power with more oil also showed much less carbon on everything except the plug with more oil.

Im in 100% ! More oil less carbon but need a dyno to justify more oil equals ring seal plus more power or less oil with complete combustion equals more power?

 

[porsche965]

Now it's getting good!

Myths beware.

I read that article many years ago and have always subscribe to that philosopy in my karting days, flying RC, and any other 2 cycle engine.

These are quite the experiments you’ve got going on.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I'd rather be overly cautious on oil vs not. I don't think you will ever hear someone say 32:1-40:1 ruined my engine.

That’s as close to the gospel as you’re going to get in an oil thread...

 

[Keith Gandy]

Oil!!
