I know it is terrible - a new member posting about 2-stroke oil - but here it goes!
I saw a website today about oil: http://www.dragonfly75.com/motorbike/oil.html
This site seems to have a lot of information, and much of it makes good sense, but I think it is written for motorcycle operators. Would it apply to saws?
I have always put in whatever 2-stroke oil I could find, usually cheap or on sale, into my saws. I now live on a larger property so I do more sawing and mowing...much more than before. I thought I may want to try to take better care of my saws and weedeaters.
I recently bought cheap "County Line" oil at Tractor Supply and I seem to be having issues with starting which I didn't have before. I mix 40:1. I don't think I'll buy that anymore. I am not sure it is the oil or the operator.
