New Stihl MS362RCM for me tomorrow

[Mastermind]

Wonder why the 044 seems to run cleaner on the same stuff? The 362 muff had a coating of soot, the 044 was clean as a whistle.

Hard to say........

Could it be that from when it was cold, I leave it on Start position for a bit to warm it up. If you pull the trigger too fast, it will stall.

...Stihl synthetic...

...The only oil I use...is Belray H1R...

...AMSoil...

I tore a 362 down a few days ago that was running Maxima Pro Series 927 Castor. It left some really bad deposits behind......like plastic.

Ya'll realize this is now an oil thread, right?

OIL THREAD!!! woo hoo!

Watch it Mike........I've got your jug chucked up in my lathe right now.

Lol!! Id be careful Mustang!! He may use a rotten banana!!!

 

[KG441c]

Yours may just be bananas model..

Not the Xtra Bananas! !

MM- 362XB

Lmbo!!!

 

[MustangMike]

I'm not worried, when it comes back with that sticker, I'M SURE IT WILL RUN!

 

[KG441c]

Wooh, you made my heart skip a few beats!!!! Yea I noticed that, even thought I mentioned it to you in the past. When I modded the muff, the 044 was much cleaner than the 362 (an over 20 yr old saw compared to a few month old saw). I thought you said it may be related to M Tronic.

Mike Ive had new saws coat the piston like that after only a few runs. Guess what oil?? Amsoil!! U can add alil stihl synthetic and keep it cleaner but Ive switched to H1r since and Im sure Randy will tell u my piston was clean also

 

[MustangMike]

Keith, do you think it was from leaving it on start for a bit in the winter? I have not used the AMSoil yet, only Stihl synthetic.

 

[MustangMike]

Hey, my saw is on the bench +++++++++++++++++

I feel like a 62 year old kid!

 

[KG441c]

Im not sure Mike but Amsoil is excellent for protection but it soots things up. Do yourself a favor and use H1r. It will leave a nice oily clean film. Goggle oil test on the rc 2 stroke and a fellow did a test with all the oils. Amsoil soots up quickly. H1r cleanest burn

Hey, my saw is on the bench +++++++++++++++++

I feel like a 62 year old kid!

I know the feeling!! Worth the wait!!

 

[MustangMike]

What ratio do you use?

Sorry, I missed that question, Stihl synthetic at 50:1, with hi test (93).

 

[KG441c]

I know the feeling!! Worth the wait!!

I dont know how Randy keeps up with the porting, phone calls, packing and unpacking, gathering wood , testing, helping us on these sites??? Maybe the dyno will help out having to gather as much wood. I commend him on all his work and efforts and still being a stand up fellow??!!! Id lose it and curse somebody if I tried juggling all that

 

[MustangMike]

It always helps when you do what you love to do, and I think he loves doing it! (I'm not saying that it is easy, it definitely is not, but that is part of the rush, it is another form of the game of chess).

.....Where do you get the Belray?

eBay..

.....What does Dex use, and how many tanks through it?

Had almost 6 tanks through it. Ran BelRay and Stihl Ultra. I have 2 cans of mix. Both are 36:1. If I had to guess? Probably slightly more Stihl HP.

I used to run a LOT of Castor 927. I ran out a couple months ago and I have quite a bit of other oil now. About a dozen bottles (the 2.5 gallon bottles) of Stihl, a Quart of BelRay, and a quart of Amsoil Dominator.

 

[MustangMike]

Thanks for the info, but if we both ran the Stihl, I don't think that is the answer.

When did you get your saw? Did you run it in the winter? Did you leave it on Start for a bit to warm it up?

 

[KG441c]

Im not a fan of Amsoil. I know its great oil but I didnt like the quick buildup it left

 

[hseII]

Sorry, I missed that question, Stihl synthetic at 50:1, with hi test (93).

Mista Monkey Said 40:1 on mine if I was using Stihl Syn.

If only I had my MMMS660 back to gather data

 

[KG441c]

Mike give H1R or Motul 800t a try. Both are 100% ester and burn clean. Yamaha ring free additive will keep a motor sparkly but its uneccessary when using the Belray and Motul

 

[KG441c]

Lower octane will give a more complete burn of the fuel in these short 2 stroke motors with advanced timing? Uh oh here we go with the octane!!!!!! Lol
