Since we noodle a lot of our firewood I'd say the higher viscosity oils would be beneficial. Noodling is probably similar to milling without the longer durations.
Ill give u an example of what im thinking. In order for a oil to migrate from the fuel and stay in the bottomend the saw has to get hot enough in the bottomend. If an oil is more resistant to this and a fuel with the wrong distallation curve is used, the seperating would be that much harder and u will end up looking through the plug hole and muffler and be soaking wet but bottomend bone dry
Exactly!
All the pics of the lower ends posted answers our question. I've seen several pics of very dry low ends with proper tune.
2 saws may not produce the same result though and guessing that the bottomend is wet on a 1200$ piece of equipment just because the topend is wet or the oil is high viscosity or by flashpoint, may not be a wise decision unless one actually looks at the bottomend? Its a chance I guess. Most oils Ive looked at though left ample oil in the bottom. 2r looked as wet as r50 in the bottom imo
I'd like to hear from Mike and Junkman on comparisons on lower end lubrication of the different oils they've used.
That would be best for us to get first hand information from folks that take their saws down time to time and post a picture instead of assuming what oils are doing. Their milling application would no doubt tell if a certain oil was staying in the bottomend or all migrating to the topend which is very possible with the wrong oil and fuel in different applications. Example. Redbulls test showed hp2 best performing @32to1, my pics showed hp2 ample lube in bottom but not burning very well in the topend on mtronics , mikes hp2 run showed milling get the saw hot enough that the oil burn and built up quickly
I will see if any difference 40 to 1 and 32 to 1 with the ash
The oil ran very good ! Even hp2 ran great in my 241 but just wasnt burning off in the topend as much as needed but appeared to be burning too much in mikes milling. Never know until u look I guess. I think that amsoil will work fine but im interested to hear your finds
ultra, mixed with 92 octane non ethanol.
Bet it runs good?I have nothing but great luck, with 50:1
Yeah not one issue, my biggest killer was pump gas.
Most of the dirt bike oils do not idle good or rev quick in my fs80 string trimmers Am looking for one can run in everythimg,the mx2t is not bad and has almost no smell, the dumonde was another good in all, a little ash wont bother me too much if they run better
I work on saws,weedeaters, trimmers daily and just this past week I changed 2 arrestor elements that was completely clogged . 1 unit was a stihl 38 trimmer and the other a stihl 55 blower both ran on stihl ultra. When I see alota buildup in the screen or exhaust I like to ask the customer. Another customer this past week brought a husky p5 pole saw with the exhaust system was partially plugged and it was ran on ultra also
