For those of you that mix your own oil and gas, what ratio are you using? 40:1, 50:1, 100:1 ? Does it depend on what type saw you are using? Does it depend on how long you are going to be running the saw on a given day?
40:1 non ethanol 90 octane & amsoil Sabre. If it makes past 4 weeks it goes in the John Deere B & I mix a new batch.
I've been running 40:1 as well. Its just I've been questioning that since I burned up a Husq 353 the other day.
40:1 in my 40+ year old McCullock 610 as it's my only chainsaw. All that bad boy does is cut wood....................very well.
50:1 cuse the book says so and I'm not educated enough in that field to try anything different. Also E-free fuel.
Oil goes in the small hole. Gas goes into the big one. It must be a variable ratio that arctic cat has engineered so it runs like mosquitoe fogger (8:1 or worse) at startup and then bleeds down to 60:1... Nervous it's going to explode ...after warm up. It's like magic or something...
32:1 Dolmar 2 stroke oil & 89 Octane Rec gas. Easy math & I haven't smoked a 2 stroke on that mix in 35yrs.
50:1 for my saw and blower. That what the manufacturers say and the Stihl bottles are sized for 1 gallon of gas. 50:1 in my Evinrude too, even though they tried to recommend 100:1 for that year.
Close to 50:1in all our Stihl equipment. I try to put just a little less than 1gal on gas in the can. 93 octane, going to start non-E as soon as I finish up what we have mixed.
I run 25:1 on 95 octane no ethanol as recommended by my friend who owns the local Husqvarna dealership, due to our hot and dry climate I think the extra oil helps. The manuals for Husqvarna and Stihl both Say 50:1 but I think that is more for pollution requirements rather than engine longevity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My buddy runs his sabre at much leaner than that. I think he says 80:1. I don't trust that and user either sabre or Lucas at 50:1 . I run e10 87 octane because all of my saws are designed to run e10.
