per Jaso...

The JASO FD spec is 0.18% ash, less than 1/5 of 1% of ash content in the oil. Sulfated ash is the way to measure ash content by the way and its biggest contributing factor is metallic additive such as zinc and calcium.

Hows that?



Well considering gasoline is the biggest solvent in the gas oil mix. I'd have to say that any 2t oil that needs a bunch of solvents to keep components blended...well just plain SUCKS

According to belray - yeah I know they are "biased". But the solvents are the cheapest raw material in 2t oil. Maybe maybe not, but it doesn't seem like a statement that is that far fetched at all.
So you pretty much didn't have a clue till you googled it..
The ash content of 800 is the highest I have ever seen for a 2 cycle oil..It wouldn't pass fd/fc by this alone.
And you only think that about solvents because you don't have a clue what your talking about..

For you guys looking at plugs...you cannot correctly read a plug unless you're looking at the very base of the porcelain. Typically you have to cut away the metal to really see it. With that said, a properly tuned 2-stroke will generally have a cocoa brown colored plug. Additionally, this will vary based on the oil and fuel used. For these reasons, I consider it a very poor method to use to tune a saw.

i just got a basic tune on mine 4 strokes out of the cut then cleans up in the wood.
i rarely look at plugs unless it is hard starting.

I agree but we used it on dirtbikes quite often with good luck

ash is a measurement of residues left after burning.
ash is what makes up the solids in smoke and can contribute to hard deposits.

So it's just like wood man heh






75% oil. so at 32:1 of 710 it's actually 40:1 ...why he said run at 32:1.
Again your completley wrong..
Ash refers to the amount of mettalic ash when reacting an oil sample with sulfuric acid... It has nothing to do with smoke.
JASO puts a limit on ash and there is no way 800t would meet jaso-FD because it's ash content is through the roof.
