661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[porsche965]

What would you compare a 390xp to? Exactly?

And I sure am not your son. Pops.

Husky claims 6.5hp. You are wrong Zorak, no surprise.

Go clean your dirty carbs zorak. Post #7849

Well you can't compare it to a bigger saw that's for sure. But by the sound of it your pro stihl.

You are wrong again. Dolmar, Husky, and Stihl. All run great, and that 390xp will run like Brad makes them run! Then the 661 will have it's hands full, or may be even smelling exhaust fumes I hope! Not brand specific. Performance Specific all the way.

Mostly referring to the early production runs. I ran a few that were total dogs. I also thought you said the 661 was a mess. At least that's what I remember you saying, I could be wrong.

I would ask if the system works so well, why is Brad and others, looking to run a normal carb on the 661?[emoji9] Again the 661 I ran was very stout, had a great feel, build quality and so on. But I'm not sure about it's fuel management system.

I call it as I see it.

Brad had one that was a blubbering mess. IIRC he found out what was wrong with it?

I have no idea, I think a new intake boot helped?

It doesn't take long to get a good idea of how a saw runs or handles. As I said the 661 is a fine saw, but I'd wait a few years to buy one. I honestly don't care to be a beta tester, like many of the early 550/562 owners.

I also don't many retired people that work all day running saws.

Are you doubting me Andy? Want to compare tax returns and post them?

I think the 390 vs 661 argument needs to be put to bed until the AT 90cc husky arrives..if it follows the trend its most likely gonna edge out the 661 in overall speed.

 

[porsche965]

I hit the gym 2 hours a day and train youngsters under 40 that try to keep up. Firemen, State Patrolmen, etc. Chainsaws are a hobby and a great way to get exercise for 4-6 hours when I hit it. Care to join me? Just show up and run my stable Andy, you are more than welcome!

I also am vested in numerous 5 star Hotels that you can stay in for free. This is fun for me.

I THINK I agree lol. Love my Huskies and Stihls.

So do i , i have zero brand bias.

Back to the oil testing. I do have a question regarding the outcome of the testing that Red Bull will do.

Will anyone change their current use of whatever oil or ratio depending upon the outcome of this guy, Red Bull's hard work and expense?

 

[porsche965]

Bring your workout clothes, saws, and checkbook. I'll buy your air fare home

No, because I dont own a 661.

 

[porsche965]

You're insane.

You haven't even scratched the surface

Let's get back to oil ratios can we?

 

[porsche965]

No.

I told Red Bull this. At this point, with THIS answer, Red Bull should stop his testing. What for?

 

[Andyshine77]

Exactly.

See my edit.
This test is only relevent to the saw in question and even then I have concerns with ability to control variables.
I have a track record with several oils, know how they perform long term and have no interest in finding every last bit of performance. If I were, I would look at many other areas before I went after oil.
Redbull should do this test if he wants to and he doesn't need any other reason.
