Best 2 Stroke Oil?

who would run a saw at 16/1 these days, I had a new frontier saw in 1970 and the recommended mix then was 16/1 but two stroke oils back then was limited. It ran great nearly burst my ear drums cutting wood, if only I knew then what I know now

As I've shared before, I've done it before on accident with no issue. The post I was replying to said 32:1 would foul plugs and carbon up a saw, I was illustrating that that's simply not the case.

maybe im lucky or just set up and run right but I never fouled a plug in anything. I did have a race bike back very many years ago that ran on 16/1 castrol R and at one meeting I used probably 8 plugs (champion) just setting it up, they didnt foul but just packed in and would spark out of the cylinder but not under compression. it took a while to work out and very frustrating but it was a faulty batch. From that day on I always used NGK plugs and never had a problem.

Well I have been using mostly 50-1 two stroke oil of various brands since the early 70’s and it has always seemed to work fine, I do find it interesting that so many folks refuse to run 50-1 two stroke oil despite the fact that’s what most manufacturers recommend.
