3120xp oil mix?

[Mozza]

We run ours on 35:1 so thats 150ml of oil in 5 litres of petrol.

 

Yours all fixed up then?

 

How come Phenom??

Mostly because my boss tells me to and its his saw. I think its on advice from someone who uses theirs alot and because the 880 got scorred on 50:1, rebuilt and then seized. We also try to empty the fuel tank then run the saw till it dies before it goes away because it doesnt get a great deal of use. I think this is to stop a build up of 2stroke in the carb when fuel evaporates out of the carb but Im not sure.

 

The 395 and the Alpine magnum are also run on a more oily mix.

Cool, Thanks for the info, Always interesting to hear different situations/experiences

As I understand it, we used to use more oil, ie 25:1, because the oil was not as good. Now we have high quality oils, you don't need as much, ie 50:1

You may find it very hard to get the answer to that, as i understand it, its a VERY closely guarded secret:sneaky2:

I wonder what others think to this practice as i always cringe when i hear a saw run dry, as its not only starving of fuel, but also oil?

 

I have heard of this done before, but surely its not good to run a saw short of lube every time its used?

I think the same also.

 

It isnt good to run a saw lean/dry.

 

But, I do it all the time when using the saws ie it runs out of juice which I find out when it starts running lean.

 

Difference though I suppose is stopping the saw straight away and not getting the last dreggs out of the tank.

yep she is all ready to rock. got a big oak to strip and fell next week. so it will be good to get some use out of it.

 

cheers to all for the input

When we run it dry its done on tick over after emptying the fuel tank so I dont think it stops the engine from being lubricated.
