well this is sure confusing the hell out of me, at the recomendation of people on here I decided to switch to Klotz R50 in my 2 stroke equipment and so far it has been alright, one week ago I bought 5 gallons of Shell V-power and mixed in a pint of R50. My Dolmar likes it and so do the weed whips but I put it in my Echo PB650 backpack blower yesterday and it will barely run... so I dumped it out and put some 50:1 Stihl Ultra mix with 89 octane in it and it fired right up and had all the power in the world, wondering if it was just pure luck I dumped out the Stihl fuel mix and put the R50 mix in and it started acting up again with no power, so I switched back to the Stihl mix again and it runs like a banshee. there is no adjustment on the carb and even with one I doubt it would have made any difference cause I played with the choke and it did not help.... anyone ever see a piece of equipment that just did not like a certain kind of oil?
I guess I'll just keep 2 cans of mix around
