Hello again everyone, just thought I'd update this thread in case anyone wondered how things worked out. So I have continued running 50:1 mix of Amsoil saber and premium unleaded pump gas. After getting a few large logs to cut while tuning the Carb it seems as if the combination of a new saw (not broken in) coupled with a Carb set on the rich side must caused the smoke /oily exhaust mess I complained about. Now that I have adjusted the Carb under load and run 15 or so tanks of fuel through the saw, the oily mess is quite manageable. I still wish Stihl would have made the grill around the muffler exit port easier to clean, but I'm otherwise quite happy with the saw. Thank you to all those who offered your suggestions, I appreciate it.
