2 stroke oil question to the motor guys and gals!

I have been running saber pro at 100:1 in a poulan 245a for over 3 years and have never had a problem. In fact , It seams to run better, less smoke, virtually no carbon build up. Run it in my J-reds and efco. Very cost effective with peace of mind. You may think no way, I have yet to have an issue, even at extreme heavy use.

 

I've read there is nothing to worry about.

Hey, did you vote?

I have been selling sabre pro to many customers and they like it. They keep coming back for more.

 

Yep! Just voted thanks.

 

Awesome......your welcome

 

What are the benefits to using a leaner mix?....... Other than cost

 

You don't see the carbon build up in the exhaust ports, fouling of plugs and such. When running leaner I noticed less smoke and even better idling and smother running on amsoil.

 

Ive used Husky and Husky xp oil forever. Never a prob ! No locked up saws . Im sure they are all good. Its more how a person mixes it i think

 

The 245a seems to like it over the conventional oil. Seems more robust and has a different smell than standard oil. Not as heavy on the lungs.lol.

 

I second that fuzz. I like the husky stuff too.

 

Very interesting.

Checkout some of the oil threads here.

They are within a page or two.

 

I think full synthetic is the way to go personally. But if I had to choose conventional it would be husqvarna oil!

 

A bit off topic but, I let a friend borrow my 2255 J-red with a new sugihara 20" bar and he bent the bar tip. Almost to the point of binding chain and sprocket tip. Maybe should have installed a titanium bar! Lol. My rant for the day.

 

The new sabre pro oil from amsoil also contains a great fuel stabilizer. Helps with ethanol and such. Of course many oils are these days.

 

You get to check your bearings more often....like Mike said, the case bearings need lube too....

 

40:1 Dolmar full synthetic oil (or Stihl Ultra synthetic) w/ 93 octane Hess gas (the ONLY station with separate hoses for each grade).

 

Buy it once I use up the quart and a half of amsoil I have I am getting some Lucas from Orileys at $9.99/qt. Will mix at 32:1 its good stuff

 

Theres no smoke and no carbon cause theres virtually NO oil in the gas!!!

 

I have never fouled a plug out in everything from weed eaters to saws to my boat motors some of which were pushing 40 years old. I think fouled plugs stopped happening when 30wt @16:1 fell out of fashion. Assuming you have good healthy ignition system.

 

I use to use it. Its semi syn. But I switched when I went full syn. And I was glad Randy and Terry said that was some of the worst oil for leaving carbon deposits.
