Mix ratio ?

[Jimmy lockard]

I was curious what is the preferred mix ratio after your saw has been ported

 

[troylee]

40 to 1 is very popular on here

Mastermind uses 32-1, I use 35-1 but anything full synthetic and at least 40-1 is good.
It's not just the piston/cylinder but the bearings too

Unless you run Amsoil then you can run 100:1

opcorn:

Honestly though I would run 32:1 - 40:1 with a good full synthetic.

wow just a month ago I think I read 100 pages on this topic. I was left a little tired and confused at 3 am when I finally finished my reading the thread, but I think I surmised a good synthetic oil at between 32 or 40-1. Please let's not change it here. I've got a bunch mixed now and my feeble mind can't handle change.

Can someone please tell me why porting a chainsaw would change the gas to oil ratio?

 

[blsnelling]

32:1 in all my saws. I recommend that my customers run 32:1, no less than 40:1, with the full synthetic oil of their choice.

I would run 32:1 - 40:1 regardless of the saw being stock or ported. The cost is minor for the added protection!

I agree! I run 40:1, but I thought someone brought up the topic of a ported saw and if a new mix ratio was necessary.

40:1 in ported and older saws. 100% synthetic JASO FC or better. Supreme E0 gas with StaBil red. Canola as the 'other' oil now.

For those that run synthetic where do you find it?

32:1.

4 oz. per gallon. Pretty easy to remember, no matter what size tank you are filling. I was always looking at a chart before I switched to 32:1.

What ever you do make sure its "synthetic oil"

[o8f150]

I run everything 45:1

 

[workshop]

I run 32:1 on everything. Like the above post said, its easy to remember. 1 oz. per gallon. I found out that 1/8th cup equals 1 oz. So I took my wife's stainless measuring cup and put it in the tool box to carry with me.

I use Stihl Ultra. I suspect any saw shop should carry full syn.
