Why do other peoples 2 stroke exhaust smell better than mine?

[066blaster]

Do we just get use to are own. is it different gas? I noticed this alot when I raced dirtbikes too

I just bought a 455 rancher from a guy... the exhaust smells really good

I have used all brands of oil???? Do other people think my exhaust smells good?

 

[Chris-PA]

So many smart alec responses here, but it's just too easy, I can't go there.

 

[XSKIER]

Well allow me to retort!

What's the deal 066? Running around sniffing the other neighborhood mutt's butts, are we?

Sorry can't resist...........................:hmm3grin2orange:

I always thought my exhaust smelled OK

Its other peoples that smell rank!

 

[Uncle John]

Actually some synthetic oil smells much better than others.

 

[djones]

Is that Olive or fish oil ??

 

[old-cat]

If ya want to make your ex smell better, just put about 50% alcohol in yer gas.

that's funny, But really everytime i buy something . i think the exhaust smells more racey.

I use premium gas..

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Just like us humans exhaust gases , it depends on what the saw is eating that day.

Could be the oil with racey scent or the gas used like race gas VP or Cam-2 etc.

i have used everything stihl,husky,echo,ect. we have something called reformulated gas here, for emmisions. that might be it. we have to take are cars/trucks in every year to get them emmision tested.

I think the largest difference is between synthetic and dino 2-stroke... To me the dino smells like the "classic" robust scent with hints of woodiness and a long finish, where the synthetic has more of a flowery note, with a subtle shorter finish.

I notice a sweet, citrous, orangey smell that i like.

Yours stinks because your carbs need rebuilt and retuned. :bang:

 

[srcarr52]

Klotz oil has a distinct sweet smell to it. Every time I smell is it brings me back to my old snowmobile racing days. Brrrraaaaappp!

i have 5 saws not just the 066, and 3 echo trimmers, red max blower, husky hedge trimmer, all smell the same, like nothing really

 

[pro94lt]

my 3 series husqvarnas smell a certain way, my 562 has it's own smell, echos have their own smell, my 298xp smells like my 066. I think the quad ports smell similar and the dual ports have their own smell... if you can't smell the difference your not smellin:msp_smile: I swear i could tell you by smell what saw has been started... all with xp oil...

 

[Rokon]

The mental image this conjures... up...:fart:

 

[rupedoggy]

OK time to come clean and tell the truth. Is your name really DH1984?

And so far, nobody's mentioned stratified scavenging, which the 455R has. Dunno about the 660, though.

I've noticed that the "stratos" (like 3 new saws I have) have a much less noxious/plain stinky exhaust than their precursors. I know, I know, people love to demonize the EPA. :rolleyes2:

From recent experience, only non-strato saw I'll "adopt" is a freebie.

 

[MEATSAW]

Stihl Ultra is obnoxious. It's fantastic oil but I hate the smell. Same with Husky LS and woodland pro.

Klotz is definitely my favorite, but I don't like the buildup so I decided smell wasn't everything and I ditched it. I used to love starting up my super XL in my garage and smoking it out.

The worst is stale gas period. It's horrible no matter what.
