50:1 oil mixing ratio...

[kevlar]

Saws have a lubrication requirement... not an oil amount requirement. Unless you're using inferior oils... you have to use more. Modern 2 stroke oils lubricate just fine at 50:1...

I agree!

What alot of people seem to miss about oil ratios is how the carb has been set and how the saw is used.
A saw using 32:1 with the carb set up to factory max RPM and used WOT is infinitely superior and longer lasting than a saw set up rich on the carb at 50:1 and used at partial throttle for extended periods of time.

A modded saw could probably use 20:1 with no ill effects if it was used WOT and adjusted right.

Ironically, some of the 50:1 er's like to richen the carb more than need be, especially during breakin. Why not just run a fatter mix and set the carb H where it should be? It's all about complete combustion and lube.
