Re: Fuel mix ratio
How much is in the bottle? I get my oil in the gallon so it's an eyeball for a quart in a 5 gal. It's just a chainsaw, not a NASA moon buggy I figure.

Re: Fuel mix ratio
Mower is 4-stroke, garden tractor is 4 stroke. So they get the straight stuff.
Weedeater takes 32:1, chainsaw is supposed to take 50:1. Ive already got 2 cans of fuel, straight and mixed. I aint mixing another batch, and keeping another tank around, so the saw gets the 32:1. Little less power, a little more smoke. but it will NEVER run too hot or with too little oil. I can deal with that.

Re: Fuel mix ratio
The weed wacker I have is 40:1. I usually throw in a little more oil as I don't care about smoke. I have two vintage Yamaha RD350's and if it ain't smokin it's broken. Both my bikes are oil injected but the newer Yama-lube I use in them produces little to no smoke through the engine which is disappointing...
I personally love the smoke. |
