I am thinking a 550 should out cut a 661 if I use RB'S preferred oil, bar and muffler mod! LMFAO!
Wonder if he has a prefered turkey fryer?
How about a shaving cream test next?
You go ahead and mix fuel in the fryer and let us know how that works out, if we don't hear back from you we'll know.
Ok. Bad idea ill stick with 87 e free at 350°f
 
i ran 500 tanks of stihl regular 50:1 87 through my 576. that's likely more then most here will run in 20 years lol. that 576 still runs great. piston and cylinder are mint. of course, if you guys run a tank of 50:1 your saws will score so best stay with your saws tuned way to fat running 32:1 lol
Likely you would have cut way more wood if you only used hp2...

tell the boss that cause he decides the fuel and oil lol. he will laugh at you. i thought for sure you left AS for some reason but then i decided to check out this thread and realized this is pretty much the only thread you post in. you have a fascination with oil and it's ****** up lol

When I was going through drums of 2 cycle oil per year 50:1 and cheap oil ruled the day.

And if I were your boss I wouldn't be running stihl oil. Much better, and cheaper oils out there.

Throw in the right bar and your production will be through the roof!

boss gets stihl oil for sweet **** all. he used to run tech 2000 but switch because the stihl oil isn't much more and he loves stihl.
 
Im not a 50to1 cheerleader! Sorry fellows. I even run 40to1 in all my lawn equipment . I ran H1r in my SRM 225 and in close quarters it almost took me out a few times!!:dizzy::surprised3::laugh:
 
that's the spirit. you've been there and done that even if you fascinated in oil. i think most culls here honestly think they will blow up their saw running 50:1.
To save money for u guys thats a good idea but for occasional users that little extra $$ on oils and added ratio gives me peace of mind if nothin else

my point isn't that we save money. my point is there is this fear on AS that running anything other then 32:1 will blow up your equipment. if i ran 500 tanks through a 576 in 2 months then i think your saw will last you a lifetime at 50:1 lol.

Ive worked on alota saws in my shop running 50to1 stihl ultra and the cylinders/pistons looked like total hell! Improper tune, wrong mix, straight gas , who knows
 

yes BUT those saws were probably used like mine for 2 -3 years straight with very little maintenance if any. you saw will never get to that point in 30 years lol

Right. Thats pretty impressive on the 576 at 50to1 in a commercial enviroment. How does it compare to a 372 in performance?

i like them both. 372 handles alot better. 576 runs better stock. if i went and bought one today i'd probably get a 372. well, i'd get a 390 :laugh: but 372 if 70cc was what i was after. :givebeer:
