I'm using old Poulan 245, 306, and 4400s. I'm running 32:1. Someone once told me that if they don't smoke, you're doing something wrong. From what you guys are saying, if the muffler screen needs cleaning once in a while, I'll stay the way I am. Is there something that would tell me that I need to change the mixture?fishhuntcutwood said:What saw are you running?

Running a quality oil at 50:1 as per oil and manufactuer specs should never cause a problem. I ran a good quality synthetic for years at 50:1 with no problems.GASoline71 said:I don't think your logic is flawed at all Finnebear. I have never had a mechanical failure runnin' 50:1, and have done so for years. Maybe I'm srewed in the head for doin' it, but that's my gig. My little 028 has been on 50:1 since the day it was born, and there is no signs of premature wear, and it has excellent compression for a saw that old.
So when one of my saws dies from runnin' my mix at 50:1 I will post it here, and show what happened. I'm sure it will be a very very long wait.

First off, I have never had to clean a spark arrestor screen on any saws I have ran at 32:1. Although in general I toss the screens as soon as I get the saw home. The exception would be a 372 and 346 I muffler modded Ken Dunn style and a Stihl FS 85 trimmer that has a few hundred hours of use on it. None of these three pieces of equipment have had screen problems.the problem I have with 32-1 or 40-1 ratio's are clogging of the spark arrestor screens.. Yea I know someone will tell me to adjust for the richer mix and 5 or 10 years ago I would have. But in todays emission standards with fixed jet carbs especially on trimmers and blowers why not just run quality 50-1 and be safe. no clogged mufflers and no seizures here from 50-1 name brand premix bottles of oil.
Right on Ben,32:1 and premium, Just cheap insurance.bwalker said:Or that only 11% of us are right...LOL.:deadhorse:
In all seriousness with two strokes you can go wrong with a little extra oil and a little extra octane. Both are cheap insurance.
