What is the best fuel ratio to ensure the bottom end of the big block saws (like the 395 and 660) have sufficient lubrication?

What were its final words? RIP
THE LONG ANSWER AND THE SHORT ONE IS 34:1. R.I.P. Thanks

You have no idea. Pick a ratio and go have fun.

On it. Old heads say 32:1. That’s good for me so I’m off to have fun. No lookin back!
All these ratios and brands mean ONE thing. Tune your saw or blow up. A well adjusted saw can over come many problems, but a poorly adjusted one with good oil will still blow up. Thanks

Yes Sir! I turned my saws today with a tach. They are dialed in and running great. Thanks so much! They enjoy the 32:1 cocktail.
I am almost never wrong with more than fifty years of experience. I know the tell tale signs of a perfect running engine. I know when an engine is just a touch too lean or rich what could go wrong. So I take the plug out to see just to find it is about perfect. Then some thing is not perfect so I take the plug out to discover it is running way too lean or. So grab a scrench or plug socket and check your plug it will give you the rest of the story. I love engine work but hate it when I find avoidable problems. No I really really hate it when I am the one to blame. Thanks
