[Trx250r180]

Will something like this work on a saw ? And if so where do you hook the wire to ? And is it resetable to zero again ?It is on an onan engine right now .People keep asking me how many hours are on my mill 660 ,and honestly i have lost track .

The were just wraps around the plug wire on a tiny tach. The tach turns on and off with the engine.

Not use and abuse just be practical and mix stuff rite and maintain it? What more can you do.

U can tell what oils lubricate the best internally and in the long run may get u more run time per saw before its worn out?

4 years out of a production saw running the same oil is proof enough to me.

Going by memory there is a reset button on the case that you can stick a pen in to reset.

IME when used in a commercial logging operation most everything wears out before the motor, assuming you take good care of the air filter, etc.

Why don't you fellows take the hour meter debate to a new thread.

Thanks man.

It's kind of a pain to move all of the posts and some of it is unnecessary banter so best for those interested in this topic to post pertinent thoughts in the new thread.

What kind of oil?

 

[Bwildered]

Read below and it will remind you of what YOU wrote





I still await your answer with a picture of your saws with a tachometer that records hours at WOT

I get it now! you don't know the difference between a sawmill & a chainsaw that mills, maybe you could ask a farmer to point it out to you. LOL you had me scratching my head what you were on about, but then again that doesn't take much! To clear up any confusion, I don't have a chainsaw with an hour meter permanently mounted on it ( it was just a one night stand the tiny tach said ) I don't know of a hour meter small enough that would be able to record rotational engine hours for fitment onto a chainsaw, I have manually recorded cutting times at WOT with some idling time to form a basis for chainsaw usage which can then be calculated by fuel or oil used, no guessing.

I'm not concerned about time on my chainsaws.I put more emphasis on proper lubrication,carburetor adjustments and maintenance;when its worn out it is done.

So i have been using Mobil 1 2T Racing for abot 8 years (prob 8 to 10 ltrs per year) but its getting harder to find and is about $35 per ltr in Ozz, time for a change.
These 3 are easy to get and between $15 to $25 per ltr
I have used all 3 around 5 ltrs of mix each at 40:1 in a 660 for milling and all are have pleasant smell,fumes to use,so which one to stick with ?.
Even two of them are Ozzy

Oh no! You bumped an oil thread! Lol

Interesting that someone would start a thread about motorcycle oil on a chainsaw forum
