What's on your bench

I run 40:1 in the Lawnboy, trimmer and everything else. Lawnboy only recommended 32:1 because of the oil of the time. I prefer more oil to less oil.

Okay, okay- lets NOT turn a bench thread into another oil thread!

Hello all,
Bought a Homelite Super 2 at an estate sale. Manual says 32 to 1 mix. I use Stihl
HP Ultra synthetic 50-1 on my Stihl’s and older Huqvarna’s. Can I run this mix in this Homelite Super 2.

50:1 synthetic will be fine, oil improvements are amazing. but you may need to retune to that mix.

Picked up a pretty decent 162SE last night for $50. Needs a top end probably as its got scoring. Ill get some pictures later on

Here is the 162SE. Metal tank and brake. Piston has some scoring so I'll P&V test it and see what gave. Looks like transfer scoring so I'm not sure why that is, if someone knows chime in. The saw itself is pretty clean and while a bit dusty nothing about it says that it was abused. A few broken bits on the recoil and clutch cover but not bad for a $50 saw. I hope to clean this up and get it running again. Not sure but it will either be just a backup or end up going to my BIL. Who needs 50 saws right? right...?

Picked it up for 50$ as a non runner with no compression. Got it home and checked it over piston looked great air filter seemed near new put in a spark plug funny how that fixed the no compression issue added fresh fuel and fired right up. Oils good runs good but it did have cracks in the reed block so I’ll pull it apart again rebuild the carb and seal up the cracks
