Take a look down your spark plug or take off the muffler. It leaves a lot of carbon.Not to add 'fuel to the fire', but what is wrong with Stihl HP ULtra? Have been running it for years 1:50 or a bit richer, mainly in my 2 026's. Seems to burn quite cleanly...
If I'm not mistaken, it's also the oil they use in their 'Motomix' 2-stroke alkylate fuel.
I’m willing to grant the possibility that if you’re using it at high temps constantly, like for a chainsaw mill or high volume logging, it would burn a bit cleaner. Even for that though, it’s not what it should be.
