What oil is best? and what ratio?

[ny15]

I'll put 2 tanks through dd's saw and pop the cylinder and see what this royal purple is doing. It's expensive but I'm thinking it's good.

I will send you a quart of 2R if you want to run a few tanks of it thru my 046 when you finish it, let me know.

Wonder how many of these oils do store good. I know that klotz original does. I've used gas over a year old with it I mixed up and put in trufuel cans when it was the last bit in a 2 gallons jug to empty it.

I do not remember my fuel going murky looking with h1r ,am curious how the saber does with storage,this time of year the saws get used more so may be a while to tell

My experience is Dolmar synthetic seems to do well and starts real easy. However that Echo red armor starts even easier almost like it has starting fluid in it lol.
But the longest my fuel has ever sat is 6-8 weeks.

I'll pull the cylinder on dd's saw tomorrow and see how the royal purple is doing, It seems like fantastic oil to me.

Only knock it got against it is it has little color but I can fix that.

I got another gallon of valvoline mixed up to run too. I got a new piston in another 064 that I'm going to break in on it and pull the cylinder and check it out.

But I thought pullin the cylinder wasnt necessary now if u knew what u were doin?

Really ?? , I used to be a L-B dealer and have repaired tons of them . Where do you get your info from ???
Use a good 2 cycle oil at 40:1 and you'll never have a problem , 32:1 burns too dirty and will eventually plug the exhaust ports . I ran my own D series for years on Castrol mix and it was clean .



That's oil wash on that piston , it's pulling oil past the rings .

The owners manual. LB own oil is an ashless tcw3 marine type oil.

I know u know theres things u cant see internally from the outside. U r much brighter than that

Are any of you cool kids running Woodlandpro syn anymore or is it so 2013? I won't buy from Bailey's website anymore since my card info got stolen but it's available on Amazon and has $1.99 shipping from time to time.

Explain to me again the point of taking apart a saw that is running fine to check the oil?

Best answer by far.

 

[jmssaws]

I tear a newly ported saw down after a few tanks to see how the transfers are working and it's a good opportunity to see how a oil is doing.

Ok. Explain to me if u can see the underside of the piston at the connecting rod to see if the crank is blued or the bottomend connecting rod to see if its blued or see the intake skirt to see wear if u r looking through the plug hole or exhaust? Ive seen lots of saws that looked like hammered hell internally that was still running

I believe you can put this down the intake on most saws and sneak under the skirt and look .
