Stihl ms 660 fuel ratio

[munky0211]

A question fellas.

What fuel mix are you using(ratio)for larger saws?

I've always ran my smaller saws T540,ms250,260 at 45/1.

I've also believed that it's best to have a little more oil in the mix for the machine.

A little smoke doesn't matter,oil in the engine.

Thoughts guys

Buy good oil and everything gets 50:1

HI THERE stihl hp 50/1 thanks jon

Lots already on the site about this - the oil dictates the mix and not the saw - most modern oils are 50:1!

HI THERE stihl hp 50/1 thanks jon

 

Yep agree with you Jon Stihl HP 50:1 on all saws big and small.

I'm using stihl hp at 45/1,

There is no smoke.

So i'm good with the same mix for the 660?

Not the 661 i might add

Yep 100mills to 5ltrs of fuel, if you're not using Aspen

And Spuds advice on the oil being the deciding factor has worked for me. I have a hedgetrimmer which stated 25:1 in the manual. It smoked like a kipper before I changed to 50:1 and has been running fine for over a year now. Saves a lot of hassle mixing as well.
