  1. More likely an air leak somewhere causing it to run lean .......
  2. Were you convicted ? If so for what ?
  3. Got soaked today Jon . Taking down a big old pine . Not much brash all big saw stuff . Got cold when we stopped . Stove going now mate ...
  4. When you put extra oil in the mix " just to be on the safe side " you are actually impairing the performance of the saw . Putting less petrol through the saw also coking it up more quickly . As long as you use good quality fully synthetic oil like the Husky XP and Stihl whatever its called or even better Red Line Racing 2t that me and some others use ( see the thread What oil ) 50:1 is better . All my saws are ported and so rev higher than standard and all run on Red line at 50:1 no problems ...
  5. Hi revving saws need the right mix . Fully synth 50:1 is what is recommended . If you are basing your argument on the color of the fuel then I don't tghink that is a valid argument . You mix the fuel , you know whats in it surely ?
  6. One of Shelbys lines is " We godda git ourseffs in da wowta ! "
  7. I would have said the exact opposite .
  8. We do Jon . The field next to me had just about emptied yesterday . just been out with the dog and its flooded again just from the overnight rain ....
  9. My mates Dad used to club race a 7 liter Shelby Cobra when I was younger ! What a bark that hadf on it !!
  10. Heavy showers all night ...heavy showers all day she just said .....
  11. Not me . I have 3 of spuds . All run more efficiently .
  12. Check the other thread " which oil " TDC has put a link up to Red Line Racing 2t oil that he and I use .

    Which oil

    Thought it was you TDC . Apart from all the benefits in the technical spec it smells err Fast !
  14. Yea . Shouting " for England and St George " even though its Germany v Sweden
  15. Usually that means you cant turn it off but it will run ok .
  16. Stubby

    Which oil

    It was recommended by someone on hear about a year ago . Something to do with base stocks and ISO ratings . All stuff I don't really understand . I like the smell ....
  17. Yea but critically it contains no ethanol ........
  18. I like Shelby , and his dog ....
  19. Stubby

    Which oil

    Red line racing fully synth for me ....
  20. 562 comes with the option of the full wrap handle , double dawgs and high top air filter .
  21. I am staying RIGHT out of this .....
  22. Did read on here somewhere that the Oregon oil is not recommended for modern High revving saws . Don't know if its a mineral oil but I would always use a synth oil in those /.
  23. All great saws . 254 I would say is legendary in the woods . Superseded now by 550 but that doesn't suddenly make it bad .....
  24. As long as you use good quality synthetic 2 stroke oil it will run better at 50 : 1 . Don't use the crappy garden center stuff .
