mixing ratios for 2 stroke chainsaws

[Tomos770]

I cant find that in Sweden. But I use this oil, 32:1 for Protection and performanc.

Thats the oil wich superseded famous Castrol TTS

Mate, have you seen the size of Australia? How little of it is populated and how little of it has mains power supply?
Would need to be a petrol (gas for you non English speakers) powered compressor and it would just confuse the average Aussie as it is likely to be powered by a 4 stroke engine.

Lol, I was having a poke at him. Always ragged on the dozer operators when I had to work on them thay they didn't know what soap and water was.. hard to keep the inside crap free if the out side is covered and you crack it open.

Yeah to give em a good clean I hit em with degreaser and the high pressure gurney good as new

Like I was missing the chance to poke an Aussie with a sharpish stick?

Well I come on here every now and then and this thread made me join because this has gotten completely out of hand but might as well throw some more fuel on the fire no pun intended what do you petroleum engineers think of running leaded fuel. I have ran the same mix I always ran in my bikes and my 440 and 024 love it and completely understand it's not cost effective as all for you professionals but I run 40:1 klotz and Sunoco 110 standard.

As I said in the other thread you posted in, I'm not running leaded fuel in anything that exhausts where I'm breathing. Full stop, do not pass go, just not doing it. I'd run ethanol fuel before I run leaded fuel.

You ingest worse chemicals through plastic and Teflon. But you point is understandable as a heavy equipment mechanic and a guy that reloads, casts bullets, smokes and drinks beer the leaded fuel isn't high on my list not so long ago when you went to the race track it's all you could smell and the hard core 2 stroke racers still run it

Yeah. I guess I breathed it for 40 years. May be what's wrong with me.

That's BS logic.
Lead is really nasty and there isn't a single good reason to use it. Sunoco 110 isn't well suited to a 2 stroke and your probably making less power to boot.
I work in a refinery and have worked in heavy industry my whole career. This isn't a good reason to ingest further crap in the form of lead.

Bull ****.

Plenty of toxins are cumulative. That you've been exposed to lots before, is all the more reason to avoid further exposure.

Go ahead and run leaded fuel, makes zero difference to me.

Where in the State of Ohio can you purchase leaded fuel or an additive that makes fuel leaded? Just curious.

Any fuel distributor or if you want to over pay you can buy 5 gallon cans of it at most Sunoco stations around here

I can pull my truck right up to the pumps at the airport and buy 100LL avgas or can buy a plethora of different leaded fuels from the local oil distributor. In some places you can buy leaded rave gas from the pump. It's available.
It also makes zero sense and is of zero benefit in a saw.

Lead is a lubricant

Lead is a lubricant

No it's not... that's an old wives tail.
The deposites from burning leaded fuel build up on the valves and seats of four cycle engines. Back in the day the cushion these deposits provided made the valves last much longer with the soft seat materials then in use. It was never about lubrication.

It was in fact used because it is and was the cheapest octane booster known to man. This was pretty important given the refining technology back in the 1930's.

This dude is the snot rocket king has been riding kx's while I was still in diapers I have built two 250's and a 125 with his advice. No issues with oil suspension. Now unleaded I have

Yes you are correct on it also boosting the octane because of it slowing the burn rate.

Like I said I understand the health issue with the lead but I'm not riding bikes or running a saw for hours on end 7 days a week for me it's proven everything 2 stroke I own starts everytime I don't have overheating issues or eating pistons and bearings. I don't dont baby any of them

Another old wives tale.
Lead does not slow burn rate and higher octane fuel doesn't burn slower...
