llwilliam, post: 6096947, member: 66740"]Interesting conversation about thin rings. I've never seen thin rings in Husky or Jonny, though I used to run both brands. A lot. On the other hand, the two saws I've run more than any other individual saws are/ were both thin-ring Pioneers. No ring related problems, other than they don't last forever. I just rebuilt (again) one I've used for 35 years, and it's going strong.
Glad to see you guys like the Ultra, since that's what I'm using these days at 40:1. Glad I'm doing something right.

Hey Jack!
I tend to think now that I know saws inside better than back in the day
...Robin's view that perhaps a lot of the thin ring failure probably was a result of like 16:1 mixes is spot on. Most of my workmates ran 40:1 Power Punch, but there were others that had 'better' ideas and ran mixes like 16:1. And if you read some of the old oil threads, that same dinosaur thinking continues even today;that more is always better. The Husky thin ring 2100 had a bad rep on the shows I worked for. Mostly because they wouldn't last the season. They'd probably be fine today on Ultra....but I never saw the advantage of them back then. I didn't have any fallin' competitors that were exactly runnin' circles around me using one....lol.
The guys that worked in saw shops in the PNW back in the day.....could certainly answer what the thin ring Huskies looked like when they were opened up inside.....and what oil mixes that were used the most. Like the dude on youtube called the chainsaw guy/shop talk. He claims he's worked on over 200,000 chainsaws. Hid vids are great, no BS, just the saws themselves. I've been tempted to call him for info, but I know every f**ktard in the world has called him for free advice.....I don't want to be one of those people. He has a shop in a small loggin' town on the Oregon coast.....or did....don't know if he retired by now. Myrtle Creek, OR.
