I really dont think im going to use them in the chainsaw at least. Every other 2stroke... yes, they were cheap I like Echo blowers and small stuff like that.
But that was a $750 chainsaw. Ill use redline.

Use less is more, when you do your mix and put in chain saw, leave 25% air in the tank, that way if you went over on your mix IE it's bogging, you can put back straight gas to thin out the oil. I use my chain saw all the time, this is the number one issue I have with it. Better to use too much and foul a plug then too little and fry an engine, but if your chain saw is bogging on the oil mix, topping tank with straight gas is no risk and solves it every time for me. I like a little smoke at startup, then I know the oil mix is good, I don't want to see any smoke when operating. Maybe it is just me, but I get the mix to oily like 70% of the time:)

I’ve never had an issue with too much or to little oil. I run everything 40 to 1 so if I’m a little thin or thick with oil it’s not an issue.

Or maybe its a older one back when they called for 30w, you know before they started making the motors with tight tolerances.

I built my chicken coop on a old 16' car trailer so it can be moved if need be. :) like a tiny house.
I also use a deer feeder to feed them, thing works great I have it set to come on 3 times a day so I dont have to worry about them getting feed.

I saw a guy leaving aldi 2weeks ago.... no bad weather......with a cart full of JUST milk and bread. Had to be 8 gallons of milk and i couldn’t guess the bread. I dont want to come of as a stereotyper so ill fly a plane right over that one instead of cashing righ into it..... (you picking up what im putting down:naughty:).

I told the wife..., “do you think he has people locked up somewhere” she didnt find it funny, but our county , strangely enough” is one of the highest human trafficing areas in the country.

Scary ****.

Off to change snow blower oil.

I can't wait to have fresh chicken, but I'm gonna have to figure out how to spoof the wife so she don't know I fresh killed dinner. She'd freak. I wont have any roosters, we need our sleep. This area is a ring roosters every day, but they are far off. However, the damn peacock farm next door is a damn nightmare.
