Toasted my clone ms660 on amsoil at 100:1

[full chizel]

A quick google search shows that a lot of people use ****** oil or have water in their rear axle

 

[Trellos]

Agreed, foaming oil is bad news bears.

Amsoil/Amway

Is there really any difference?

.

 

[lone wolf]

anyone that runs a saw with 100 to 1 any kind of oil is just plain nuts IMO

Or never read the hated oil forums here. OP why the hell would you do that? Call Amsoil and *****!

 

[cuinrearview]

Did everyone else miss that this is a China saw!?!?? I'll be the last to run any oil at that kind of ridiculous ratio, but I doubt in this case it was the ONLY reason for failure.

Not sure about the roar but the foaming sounds normal to me. I’ve seen it a few times especially of the vehicle was just driven. The oil is getting whipped up by the gears spinning i doubt it had anything to do with Amsoil

Maybe the rear was set up wrong after a repair?

I saw that.

I’m talking frothy from air bubbles not soap foamy

I really /wanted/ it to work. I'm not sure why. I wanted to believe. After all it's 'tested and proven at 100:1' I figured I'd see for my self.

My buddy thinks I broke it on purpose.

Little hard to see, but part of the cage is gone.

Piston skirt shredded and cracked, also the transfer bent in and cracked. Pieces of the cage...

I'm almost positive the saw failed to my own error/stupidity. I do think the chi-com saws probably are more likely to bomb at high RPM. However the bottom end seemed really dry when I popped the cylinder off.

Well don't fry a real one at 100 to one unless you have lots of funds!

Jetting has an effect also do you realize that when tuning?

 

[lone wolf]

I agree

Hey give the man credit for not blaming everything else !

The Amsoil camp guys are quit on this subject anyway , most of the time you put snake oil in something , the snake will bit you

I know, would be easy to blame the saw(which it probably is) in today's victim culture.
