Thanks that makes senseits either one or the other not both
Oh my, bwalker wow! Yep, thanks for stating the obvious that you can't handle echo saws.Relax...I was just saying you didn't hurt your saw from running it a bit lean.
The more I hear about Echos the less I want to own one if indeed they are that finicky.
You're the one who said finicky and weird. I trust you...Oh my, bwalker wow! Yep, thanks for stating the obvious that you can't handle echo saws.
A 1/4" turn on a high jet soooooo challenging, and finicky.
Why would you use premix oils in an injection system?Ran saber at 32:1 in the fleet of saws for about 18 months. Would never run saber in the oil injected snowmobiles because I was afraid it would strip out the plastic oil injection gears. It's too thick in the hard below zero temps. It won't pour from a bottle at 30 below zero.
The saber residual in the crankcase of 90 cc and 100+ cc chainsaws was so gummy in below zero temps, the saws were hard to start.
Have always ran the lucas 2 cycle in the snowmobiles because it pours at 30-40 below.
To simplify things, I have been running the lucas in everything: string trimmer, ice auger, brush cutter, snowmobile, and all the chainsaws. Switched in February 2024. No stabilizer in the lucas so have been adding 1 oz stabil marine per 5 gal jug.
Dunno if it's built up carbon or shortened lifespan of saws. One saw in particular: a cs 590 has been run only on lucas since new. I'll pull apart the saw in March post up pics of the cylinder at the 1 year mark of lucas.
30 below zero last February:
