Was that instead of 50:1? Or, do you think it's the Stihl oil? Might be a tuning issue. That's one of the reasons I run everything on the same mix. I hate tuning saws.
I have often wondered this. Why would anybody pay somebody else to lift somebody else's weights up and down over and over? If they took all the time, energy and money they spent at the gym and put it to something constructive they could have single-handedly cut, framed and built an entire house out of trees that were already dead. Then after they make themselves feel like they did something, after they are done "pumping iron" they go home, sit in front of the tv, open a 6 pack and eat. Which completely defeats the whole purpose of going to the gym in the first place, then start the whole cycle over.
That was compared to 50:1, and that saw has only ever had premium gas and Stihl Ultra HP...I never touched the tuning.
Maybe you misunderstand why many go to the gym lol
.
That would make sense as Joe said the saw must be retuned if you change the mix ratio, that is if you want max performance.
Thats an incredible find.

Thats awesome.Yep I might be scrounging-working for food too, I’m afraid my granddaughter maxed out my credit card...View attachment 752197I like your idea of riding the log out of the woods btw
I’m off to sell a load of wood to buy food...
, she could hold your phone for some videos

. I always like to say 40:none lol. That's the only mix ratio I've ver had a problem with BTW 
. I killed the saw in my avatar with it, but the cylinder did clean right up .
Yeah, with the onset of ULSD there was a batch of misinformation out there...fuel was drier, fuel lack lubrication, etc, etc. After all the hype, the only thing that I know is true of ULSD is that it will wax at a lot higher temperature than LSD (like +10 degrees F).Fixed
If you go on any of the diesel forums you will find many guys running 2-stroke oil in their trucks(at very wide ratios from 1:0 to around 40:1), I wouldn't doubt that guys would do the same on that saw these days.
I'm sure @steved can tell you more about it, but my understanding is it helps lube the injectors and the pump.
Many years ago, when 911 was still pretty new, my little sister had a sleep over. One of the kids made a crank call and hung up. A few minutes later the police were ringing the door bell. When the police asked who did it, the girl didn't say anything. Every one else in the room pointed at her. They just gave the lecture on why you shouldn't do that.
I was looking at the specs for this KMS4, Acres shows it at an advertised 8HP and 58CC's. I had a Homelite 7-29 that was advertised at 7HP and 129CC's. I hope I'm able to get it and get it running. They are supposed to be supper smooth with the rotary. Then it will be a shelf queen.
