Amsoil actually recommenďs no riçher than 50:1 todáy . I have run it @ 40:1 with my ported saws , but 50 :1 with my homeowner for many yrs with no issues . Only $14 a quart so reasonable pricing also . P.S. 70:1 is the lightest mix i have utilized & that was in a liquid cooled Marine engine application (1980 Evinrude 90 V4) , it was flawless for over 10 yrs idling or flat out !
Wow, 15 tanks and tuned so rich there is no carbon on the piston.
Yep !
No need to wonder. I sent them a message this morning and they sent back:
Your right, I couldn't remember.
Ah that sucksWe all have our preferred ratiosfor 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.
You can’t out tune a lack of load or a limited ignition coil. If the hedge trimmer hits the ignition limiter constantly because you’ve leaned it out, I don’t care what you do with the screws, it’s making spooge Edit: hedge trimmers are the worst. Line trimmers and blowers aren’t so bad as they see more load, but still don’t burn as clean as a saw, just like lonewolf said. They’ll burn better if you lean them out. However when you get into a lot of thick grass they should be retuned to suite the extra load like you would changing bar lengths.
It meets 1980’s specs
I have three machines with limited coils in my garage tight now they all run clean. One is a Kombi power head that sees use with a hedge trimmer and edger. In fact, if anything they run cleaner than saws.
Redmax EXZ260PH used with edger and trimmer mostly, which is very low load, but also occasionally with a trimmer and broom.
This is why I said, Amsoil at 40-50:1 doesn’t burn clean in low load engines, that 65:1 is where they burn best on low load engines. You’re taking my original post out of content by changing oils.
I wasn't responding to you specifically. Others said something similar. Any oil that won't burn clean at 40-50:1 simply isn't a clean burning oil. In addition I would not expect an oil formulated to be run at 100:1 to burn clean at double the concentration or more.
Only if they fit the narrative you want to tell. You've made that much obvious.
Did they specify usa market or global market? recent posts from overseas with "mfg by Castrol" right on the bottle.
No, they didn't. I copied here what they sent me but Omni is in Shreveport LA so at least the US and probably North America. Europe, Oceana and Africa maybe different but didn't ask
The US oil was always made by a non major 3rd party. The Canadian stuff has always been made by Castrol.
It doesn’t matter unless you’re planning on going to Canada to get oil. The stuff made by Castrol is supposedly pretty decent and clean. The stuff made in Shreveport is not
Doesn't at least to me. Someone above asked who made it in the US so I asked Stihl. As long as the specs are the same it is all the same
