075 oil to fuel ratio

[Eddie@aspen]

I have 2 stihl 075 on my mill and just been reading the instruction manual and it say oil to fuel ratio is 1:40 with stihl oil. The more I read the confused I get. Been running all my saws and stuff on 25:1 for 20 odd years with no problem (stihl and husky). I was thinking that as these were older machines which had run on leaded do they need a bit more oil in the mix. Do I need to make a separate mix for the 075. Will they be ok on the same mix as the rest or will I damage the

Any advise would be helpful

Hi, As the other guys have said 2stroke oils have come a long way so if you run a high quality oil you can mix it at 50-1. Led was for valve lube but as the guys have said does not apply to a chainsaw engine. You could run Aspen 2 with no problems.

 

Give me a call if you would like to talk more 07568108953

 

Hope this helps

Thanks all. I guess at the moment i'm doing right. I just want to make sure they last and treat them well. I got the whole set up for a good price so should make me some extra cash. As for the aspen idea I did think of using it as I use it in my 346 and hedge cutter but the amount of fuel it uses wouldn't make it profitable (not at 16quid for 5 litres) until I get a good market for the wood. Thanks again very useful information.
