I agree with you 100%. You would think that there was already an indecent expouser law on the books. We are a good example here way out in the woods. This past...
My head is spinning....ohhh the colors... I don't find it too bad with my 066 with any breeze at all, but I just bought some Opti which is even supposed to be...
Opti-2 is a synthetic 2 stroke oil that you mix at about 100:1 for any two stroke motor. You get it in little plastic packs for 1 or 2.5 gallons. Just got it...
Very valid point. I did mention mobility, but I should have emphasized that the Alaskan is mobile enough to go on top of the log. With the bandmill, the log...
Is it cheaper than the standard 2 stroke oil that I mix 50:1? If no, then what's the advantage to use it? ... From: mhitterdal [mailto:mhitterdal@...] ...
It is good stuff, I mix at 75:1 for all the two cycle tools I own. The advantage in at 75:1, there is essentially no smoke, little or no carbon build up on the...
On Fri, 04 Jun 2004 14:31:26 -0000 ... Just in general 2 stroke talk. I mix my snowmobiles 32:1 and nothing less. Anything leaner I feel will accelerate...
Yep, synthetic is what we are talking about. If you look at why synthetics are used, vs. organics, it is typically because it holds up better against heat....
Ok, we all know what kinda gas is available today. Being in the North East, we have had the MTBE gas, gasohal, and now its some wild concoction only God knows...
So we got one guy saying less oil gives more power, and another saying more oil gives more power. Me think I'll stick with my 50:1, and not risk voiding my...
Yea, then what happens when I bring my saw into my dealer, for a warranty repair, and they test the gas and find out it isn't mixed at 50:1, and thus I just...
That is what I am sayin in my post about gas/oil mix. I ain't mixin the fuel for more power, if I get that as a side benefit then OK. I am with you Dirk, don't...
If you use anything other than Oil from the same Manufacturer of your saw, then you are likely "voiding" your warranty. Using it as a powerhead for a Mill...
If we were talking Apple to Apples with regard to the oil, you would be right. The Opti gives you the same lubrication levels at the higher mix ratios. It's...
I got a couple gallons of 50:1 fuel that for some reason the chainsaw doesn't like. I might be imagining things but it seems that my Husky is real hard to...
I dump it in what's ever handy, usually a gas tractor or mower. I've burnt a lot of old gas in my car too, and other than a little oil smoke when it's too rich...
Two words, lawn mower. Mine does a great job of getting rid of that stuff. Sometimes I'll blend it with some fresher stuff. Now, if it is real old, then you...
I can't take it anymore -- I've been seeing waaaaaaaay too much conjecture, and waaaaaaaay too little fact being kicked around on this Opti-2 topic. You guys...
Dennis, Nice summary, I was wondering when you would jump into this post. I haven't run out of 2 stroke oil yet, but when I do, I'll try opti-2 because of all...
Yes Dennis, thanks indeed. What mix ratio do you run 75:1? ... I haven't run out of 2 stroke oil yet, but when I do, I'll try opti-2 because of all the facts...
Does anybody know of somewhere I can rent or beg/borrow/whatever a bandsaw mill in Southern MD? I've got several decent sized oaks to cut up within the next...
Hi Dan Ben Byler at Backwoods Husqvarna on Ryceville Road has one he might rent. Also There are about a six mills in the Thompson Corner/Ryceville Road area. I...
In answer to your question, oregonearthmover ... uh-huh. Interlube International's ( http://www.opti2-4.com ) recommended mix ratio for ANY & EVERYTHING is...
I am looking for a way of repetitively smoothing\polishing numerous small timber items. Years ago I saw a rumbler used for polishing wood. It was a rubber...
I am considering building a small bandmill. I would be milling logs under 18" in diameter and no more than 8'-0" long. My idea is to build something akin to a...
