Nope never, I've run it in many saws over 50 years old and over a 100 others at modern mix ratios. Never a problem. Sounds to me like something else was at fault and most likely the mixologist. However, maybe I'm just extremely lucky, although I've never managed to win the lottery which would be of similar odds.
My main criteria in an oil is as little stink as possible. So dino is out of question.
I wish I could get a sample pack of premium oils. Klotz, polaris, etc.So I could search for an even less stinky oil. Not looking for a sweet smell, just less smell.
I currently run Mobil 2t and Ultra. The 2t is very slightly less stinky (close though) perhaps because it doesn't have the stabilizer.
I reckon Stihl just wanted to rebuild a couple million saws under warranty when they put Ultra on the market, and the millions of high rpm Motocross bikes that run on synthetic are just a miracle...
Nope.
It's more likely straight gas, or an air leak.
Stay safe!

How does anyone quote synthetic oil & motocross @ the same time?? The two stoke is basicaly dead in motocross:msp_thumbdn: & has been for a few years.I would kill for a Honda CR500R by the way, Given time the same will happen to the chainsaw . Check out snow machines & sportbikes lately??.

The only problems I have had with synthetic oil is clogged muffler screens.
If you switch over a saw that has been running crap oil to synthetic, the synthetic will clean your engine over time. The carbon has to go somewhere, and that is almost always the muffler screen. Good cure for this is to remove the screen.
