Yeah I know but I don't cut rolled up foam mattress I wishYou be careful posting all these pics with fines in carb throats and dust packed in every orifice..... the keyboard warriors will be suggesting you go buy a 2 in 1 tool!
I do every so often it doesn't take long for a saw to get filthy used for hrs on end daily in tough going.
Yep, what ive been using for years too, buy it by the 20l drum.
Understatement of the century. The first time I cut dry Jarrah was with an 076 Super and I was amazed at how much dust is produced, even with a decent chain. It blanket coats everything.
Could be anything....from Castrol garden, Castrol Go 2T, Go! 2T, Castrol Act Evo 2T, Castrol 2T.....
Things of that era were more or less of domestic production....not like today.....made in PRC.....Many years ago I always used oregon 2 stroke oil, I believe it was semi synthetic but not 100% sure, it was in 80's. Saw was used regular for limbing (husqvarna 254) very reliable and never any trouble. The saw was stored and not used probably 20 years, started it rabbit cutting some wood and thought it would be a good time to strip it give it a good clean and put a new piston in it just because I had a new one in the box. Took the cylinder off and couldnt believe how good the piston was and a nice coating of oil inside. It was always run 50/1 and looked after. Still use that saw but now with fully synthetic, still runs clean not as much oil inside but no wear. All the talk of this oil is better than that oil makes me think today's oils are much better than years ago but "maybe" the fuel is much worse. I cant remember fuel lines failing anywhere near as fast as they do these days but of course that could be down to the rubber also?
Like a lot of things these days, we are "told" this is best that is best and being gullible humans we all go along with it. If you read its right then it has to be right......right
And Toyota manuals used to say change the oil at 10,000 and the filter at 20,000. Lol
Does that mess make you itch? Looks like it would get in your skin like fiberglass
My Stihl owner's manual says 50:1.
As an engineer, I have been told I f'ed up a few times.
I think they say 50:1 if you use Ultra, 25:1 otherwise, which is admittedly a dubious statement.
The pump fuels are atrocious , you have to be selective !Many years ago I always used oregon 2 stroke oil, I believe it was semi synthetic but not 100% sure, it was in 80's.

Na, at least not Jarrah. That would really suck lolDoes that mess make you itch? Looks like it would get in your skin like fiberglass
Depends of the type of timber if it's dry or green and the wind direction but yeah can make ya throat dry ya nose burn and feels like sand in ya eyes at times lolDoes that mess make you itch? Looks like it would get in your skin like fiberglass
They may say that on some models. My MS500i manual says 50:1; no mention of other ratios. They also say to dump the fuel after 30 days unless using Stihl Ultra. I go 6-9 months sometimes, but I add StaBil to the fuel. Might be unnecessary with some oils. Stihl also says 10% ethanol is OK, but not more. I do not have any stations that sell ethanol-free fuel around here, but I have not had fuel problems in the last 40 years.
I cant find that in Sweden. But I use this oil, 32:1 for Protection and performanc.
Gimme the saw.
if a friend at work has a dull chain I’ll grind it. They are friends.
