What oil is best? and what ratio?

[MustangMike]

several tanks of hp2 and Saber.

I like Saber at 40:1. Runs clean and lubricates well. Not saying it is the best, but there is nothing wrong with it either.

Old bottles of saber 100:1 used to say for racing or commercial applications run at richer mixtures. Can't remember but I thought it was up to 32:1

The blower works lightly, that's why this happens

If held wide open like it should be that’s a full load condition

The old 100:1 bottle stuff said up to 50:1 on the stuff I saw. Never seen any amsoil call for 32:1

Yes, but mixing the air is not difficult Maybe otherwise, the air does not reduce the rotational speed wot

I like the way Saber smells.... better than Ultra, HP2, VP, and Red Armor. Back in the 60's we had one of the first Mercury 100hp engines and that thing used a quart of "Formula 2" for every 6 gallons of Amoco white gas. That smell was fantastic! I remember smelling Ultra and having flashbacks to Formula 2.... made Ultra smell like a burning plastic fork.

Fan doesnt load the engine down enough so it doesn’t over rev and blow up? They designed this to be under this specific load and that’s enough to burn off the oil.
Take the fan off and run wide open and see how long it lasts. Shouldn’t soot up in one tank no matter what oil is used 50:1.
