    Need on a combination wood/oil furnace

    IMHO put in an electric furnace and be done with it. Cheaper and electric is 100% efficiency.:msp_smile:

    Wow 8 gallons of gas, that's a ton of cutting. It's nice that you volunteered your time to help out. Was there other guys cutting with you or would you rather just be on your own so you don't have to worry about somebody else getting you hurt?

    50:1 vs 40:1

    No if you say so, please I insist.

    Exactly I don't know why some people can't grasp that principle.

    Whatever makes you happy.

    I don't joke around when I know what I'm talking about. Ignorance is bliss for other people, not me.

    Run whatever ratio you think you need, overkill with the oil definitely won't hurt the engine, it just isn't necessary. Manufactures have to idiot proof there equipment so a little more oil is a safety net for their warranty department.

    Show me those studies I would like to examine them for myself.

    That's your opinion.

    Carbon deposits are a by product of combustion even without oil mixed with the fuel. Synthetic oil doesn't burn 100% residue free.

    you can run as much oil as you want but any 2-cycle will run on 50:1 and I will bet the farm on that. If a quality oil is used there will be no issue. If you can find compelling evidence to dispute me then we can have a constructive conversation.

    Yes you are correct. I don't see why people in this thread don't understand such a simple principle.

    Check your false facts because you are wrong.

    It has everything to do with viscosity and mixture density. Carb jets and mixture can only be metered through jets and passages properly at a certain viscosity. Jetting is calibrated for a specific flow under specific variables. 40:1 is a negligible difference but the principle still stands...

    More oil increases the viscosity of the fuel and yes it does slightly lean out your mixture. Simple physics.:msp_smile:

    Oh come on now, don't make us be all serious now.:hmm3grin2orange:

    That's to smokey for me at that ratio. Spark plug fowling could be a serious issue running that rich.

    I run straight canola for environmental people's respect. Throttle response isn't that good compared to gasoline mixed with canola oil.
