If I had to pay $18 a gal of fuel.Tru fuel 40:1
Local shop has 5 gallon drum for $90
I'd switch to LP or fuel oil to heat my house and save a ton of money.

Burned up lower ends until I went to 32:1. Not one since!No disrespect intended but why do you run 34:1 when most companies recommend 50:1 or 40:1. From what I know in a high performance 2 stroke engine you would have a richer premix like you run. I run what the manufacturer recommends and really try to dial in the jetting. The way I figure it their must be a reason why the manufacturer recommends that premix ratio.

Glad to hear the Dolmar works good, I also bought a case while it was really cheap, haven’t used any yet, using up already opened bottles of this and that—mostly Red Armor!Switched several years ago to Stihl full synthetic - less smoke and carbon build-up so no turning back to dino. Recently brought a case of Dolmar full synthetic cheap - I swear my saws seem to run better. Might just be the neat blue color. Ron
How many & how long do you cut with your saw at any other than wide open throttle ? none I hope or you are not using your saw as it was intended to be used the minute fuel mix ratio's have com about through the quest to reduce emissions & from a manufacturers point of view if it passes the emissions test & lasts the warranty period using xx/1 oil/fuel ratio thet're not going to recommend using more oil to prolong the lifespan of the piece of kit why make a saw lasts longer "Bad for company profit /trade I'd say since specialist 2smoke oil was developed I've used nothing but a 32/1 ratio in the works money earning & my own saws & never had an oil related or plug fouling problemto me correct carb tuning has much more effect than a extra tiny amount of oil in the mixThough you risk fouling plugs with a richer premix without adjusting your carburetor jetting right?
I've read about the 16:1 ratio being the max for power gain but I thought I read that was mostly for dirtbike hill climbers that are pretty much pinned and not ran at mid or idle. I could be wrong can't remember when I came across that.
Well can you still buy stinky non detergent 30 weight straight?If it says JASO FD it's good for me.
I've got a variety of oil kicking around that I've either gotten on sale on on impulse.
Stihl Ultra or off brand from Wally-World and the hardware stores, it doesn't matter. 40:1 gets-er-done.
I've probably got too much and should probably worry about the shelf life...
One more oil thread and I'm going back to SAE 30
Just pulled a piston out of a 200T last night that was run on Amsoil Sabre 40 to 1 for 5 years it looked nice and clean in there no scoring at all. The muffler was carboned up but not the engine.Amsoil sabre 32:1
Quad goes through a plug on a hard weekend
I suppose you mean it fouls the plug? If so it aint jetted right or something is off.Stihl premium at 50:1 for my saws, trimmers, and blowers on ethanol free 92
Ouicksilver for my outboards on 92 ethanol free
And 927 bean oil at 32:1 in my high performance 2stroke quad motors on 110 race gas.
All run great. Quad goes through a plug on a hard weekend. Its stroked and heavily ported, intake, exhaust, and transfer ports.
