    Hello. I have recently, with sage tutelage from Unicorn 1, replaced my oiler on my 026 and have a 16 inch bar. I am presently using a ratio of 1:1 for petrol mix and bar oil. Is this a bit much on the oil consumption rate? Please advise.

    P.S. Be it known that UNICORN 1 has blessed me with an authentic, somewhat used FHC coffee cup for joining the FHC family.

    Thanks

    Welcome aboard :thumbs:

    Oil use sounds fine to me. Too much is better than too little. I wish my 291 would use oil like that

    Welcome to the Forum, sorry I wasn't around to finish the oil pump replacement.

    That prestige, premium, brand new FHC coffee was still triple wrapped in bubble wrap.:picard:

    1 tank of fuel to 1 tank of oil is just right. That is a short bar, but as bigbarf48 mentioned, on the heavy side is always preferable to the light side.

    Yep. Some say they get 2:1, but more oil is more gooder! :)

    Welcome to FHC!! If your friends with Unicorn1, then you're a friend of ours :thumbs:
