If you get that spooge you are running a bit rich.
Depends on what part of the world you live in.
Where do they source it, here where we are?
I think last it was discussed we came up with omni was the usa mfg. I think Castrol is still the mfg for cananda and Europe.
Hey mate, i find that it’s more related to a lack of load than it is rich or lean. You can only lean something out so far before the lack of load takes over regardless. I know you do this commercially so you have a lot more experience. How do you find you lean your engines like hedge trimmers for example, out enough to stop them 4 stroking without them being way too lean when there isn’t enough load placed on them?
Well, bwalker might say you are lying. But real-world results matter.
Yes this is something we don’t see eye to eye on, but it’s all good.
I feel that the saws always burn cleaner than the weedwackers and handheld blowers. I prefer to be closer to the rich side . I think the small stuff could us 50 to 1 whereas I use 40 to one in the saws. Furthermore, I just tune them where they are supposed to be.
Yep that’s been my experience too
Whoever sells them oil with the lowest bid. I was told Castrol sometimes, I quit using it because they don't stay with the same company for their base. It's different everywhere. The stuff where I live in made somewhere in Louisiana, Spectre I believe. Not 4 sure
Does it matter as long as it meets specs?
IMO no, I just stick with one product that works for me. I don't care what anyone uses. I have seen some pretty odd ball stuff in equipment and it works for them, it's all personal choice. Sure isn't worth arguing about. I just look for something that is worth the money and keeps my money makers going for a long life. I don't care if people use diesel for a premix oil or used engine oil for bar oil it's, their equipment.
I am laughing, it does smell like ****. I just had to smell my RA. I wish the had something for premix that smelled like gun solvent or oil.
I run it at 100:1 in everything except my paramotor. I run that at 66:1.
We all have our preferred ratios
for light loads it seems to get by at 80-100:1, but it’s just too dry in the bottom end for me. Long term, I think a bit extra oil is beneficial. Edit: I’ve always wanted to try paramotoring, but there is too much red tape out here.
What engine is in your para?
