Check your spark arrestors!

I am at the point of a coin-toss myself.

I am on my last gallon of mix using Mobil 1 Racing 2T that I have had great luck with. No longer available here like it was.
I have to decide between Royal Purple and Red Armor , both on the shelf for the next gallon so time to make a decision.

 

I tested the Mobil 1 Racing but haven't tested Royal purple

 

They say you can mix at 100:1 and it's the same as regular oil at 50:1. Ever try it? Not sure that I could do that lol !

 

I checked and all my screens are gone except for the custom won’t stop a mosquito screens Kevin installed.

 

Those screens are good for keeping debris from going into the muffler and exhaust gas moving outward.

 

I haven't and won't with anything I care about. With any oil. I run heavy mix.

I have ran a gallon of 75:1 Amsoil Dominator mix through a Homelite 46cc saw I ported for an experiment. Noodling and bucking 28- 30" seasoned Beach and oak. Zero damage. Still oily film on the piston and a clean exhaust port. Neighbor was running it here. 18" 325 full chisel Husqvarna chain.

You won't have oil related issues with it either.

 

I have ran it, but I didn't do a tear down after running it either. I still use it for the work 2 stroke, I've moved on to amsoil for personal use.
It's easy to source for sure, so I'd fall back on it if needing to.

 

I use Red Armor at 40:1 and like it, it doesn't smell bad and fuel mix with it is red in color, so, easy to tell what it is when you pour some.

 

What are your thoughts on Lucas?

I know Lucas is top shelf. I just wanted to know what your findings were on it. After reading back, I can see that you havent tested that one yet. If you do, please post your results. I have been using it for 6+years with great results. I use it in my saws, and boat.

 

Ill dig into that later today. That is VERY hard for me to believe, but I've always been open minded and I am definitely going to give this a fair shake! Ill also add, that I think Amsoil is grossly overrated in the 2 stroke world, and I ran that too lol.

To be clear though, I didnt buy into Lucas from their name or anything else. I was paying more for JASO B oil, with Lucas having a JASO D cert I gave it a shot. Also, you dont need to buy expensive oil for your quad... Rotella is wet clutch safe, thats what I have used for quite a while.


***Were you using the Lucas air cooled or the TC-3 rated? They make a few.

 

I am going to bow out of this one buddy. I can't find anything on this "independent test" and am reminded why I dont get on forums much. I have been up for 3 hours, and havent accomplished a thing because I have been sitting on here lol. I must say, I see you were using it up until a month ago without issue, so whatever was posted in that test must have been some bad stuff lol.

I brought home some washed gravel yesterday Im going to move around with the skid loader, I will check back in later. Good seeing some old names here (since I dont post much these days!).
