Which Klotz?

So do you have a "before" pic????

Sure don't

I refuse to start a new oil thread and I believe this is an appropriate thread to ask this:

What is the proper ratio for R50 or K2? Recommended ratios on their products website are 25:1 (but that's referencing snowmobiles and bikes) and on AS it seems that everyone just mixes it somewhere between 25:1 and 50:1. I'm used to getting Ultra HP which is 50:1 clear and simple. This racing oil stuff seems to be more open to interpretation. I just want the right mix for a chainsaw (muff modded is all I've done, yet).

I'm using R50 right now but I've got a quart of K2 to use too.

I mix 32:1 no matter what oil I use. Even Stihl ultra.

I just fill the tank and pour in a cap full of oil.

R50 is very concentrated so you can run it a 40:1 or 50:1 if you like. K2 is a different breed of oil and will burn cleaner with richer ratios like 32:1. I personally run all my saws on 32:1 mix, and the only thing it does is coat all the right places with plenty of oil. For normal use and in a woods ported saws either oil will do it's job fine, with R50 having better shear strength IMHO. K2 will burn cleaner, with less smoke and less smell. For normal use you will likely be happier with K2, for racing R50 would be the better choice IMHO.

Super Tecniplate,

It's got some bean oil in it, and just smells like a 2 stroke should.


(It also mixes with ethanol)

This is the Klotz I use:
Mainly for the rust protection and meets JASO FD---
I mix 20:1 and no carbon fouling at all.
Benol is nice but too much plug fouling and not happy with off season storage protection.
This is similar oil to Belray JS2 watercraft(Marine Racing new name) and Mystik HP Ultimate 2 stroke and Shindaiwa Red Armor.
