  6. I use 40:1 across all my saws to make it easier so all saws use the same mix, from the old to the newer, from old and new Dolmars and Makita's from small to the largest, plus Husky's 353 upto 2100, Oleo-mac and Partners as well. I haven't counted recently but probably about 50 in total. I feel that as some are not used regularly it helps to run a bit more oil to keep a little extra oil in the cases to reduce the risk of drying out and corrosion, just my take on it. Upto quite recently Husqvarna stated on the larger saws to runs a stronger mix on their bigger saws, I believe due to the impact on environmental issues rather than other reasons they don't show this anymore, of course the later oils are far superior than oils from yesteryear but as all manufacturers aren't interested in products lasting for a a long time and to satisfy environmental restraints, I except the 'go with what the oil manufacturers recommend' but having spent my working career as a mechanic/ engineer with most of it in motorsport I prefer to run a little bit extra! I liken it to some people like to remove cats and mod exhausts to help with breathing and temperature, but manufactures don't recommend this.
  7. Personal choice, you use 50:1, I choose to run a little bit more oil to lube the bottom ends, they don't smoke or carbon up so a little extra security. Plus after stripping some saws especially strato saws the bottom end were always dry plus after a lot of bottom end failures on some of the later saws ( not mine) extra oil seems to solve that.
  8. When the manual was written we didn't have fuel with ethanol in it. For long term storage use Aspen or other canned fuel. I use Aspen 4 and add FD spec oil at min 40:1 or 32: 1 for older / bigger saws. Assuming the saw not used too much then just use Aspen all the time. If used a lot and using E5 or E10, then before storage run the saw till out of fuel, top up with Aspen, run up again to make sure fuel is throughout carb, top up to full to stop the risk of condensation and store in ideally dry area, not on concrete floor.
  9. Have a look at the Foggysail fix on another site, it should help!
