I'm confused on something...
Everyone recommends a little more oil for milling....so if I were to run a 661C at 40:1 or 32:1, would the saw automatically adjust the air fuel ratio for the difference, or would I be running lean all the time? I run Stihl full synthetic in everything.
I tend to think I'll be fine at 50:1, but I really don't know. I have a Husky weedeater that I've ran boat oil in for years, and a Poulan saw that I have managed to run on gas and a splash of bar oil when I realized deep in the woods I had a container of straight gas. I fully expected to cook the Poulan, but it made it through the whole smokey tank of fuel without issue. Both escaped any hint of scoring, so I often wonder if it's a matter of much to do about nothing.
