before that I hade a Projector TV that cost ~$3.000 and 10 years later in 2009 I could not even give that thing away for free, no one wanted it :O
Thats my combo in my husky 572. Amsoil saber at 32:1 and currently echo bar and chain but got 2 quarts of amsoil bar and chain for christmas from my brother lol
This is like deja vu ...I still have my 50" Plasma TV from 2009
I was doing 50:1 till i happened to find out that on the swedish website husqvarna says to use 32:1 for 70cc+ saws. I honestly cant even tell a difference
I had the piston out of my 25 year old Poulan blower a year or so ago,just to check it,as it probably has well over a 1,000 hours on it,from when i owned a landscaping company.i figured it was in need of a piston by then,but the cylinder and piston were still in great shape,so i threw new rings on it and put it back together,it really didn't need rings,but i had them on hand,so i threw them on.It's been on 32:1 since it was new.I'd rather run them a little bit rich on the oil mix then to lean,and in my opinion 50:1 is to lean on a working 2 stroke.Maybe on a chainsaw that runs for a few minutes at a time,then has a cool off period,it might live on 50:1,but any 2 stroke running for several hours at a time at full throttle,no way.Growing up racing snowmobiles and motocross bikes,we ran them all at 20:1,otherwise you'd see piston skirt scuffing after every race.Back when i was a sponsored Honda rider,we used to put a piston in after every race,as the pistons were supplied,and on an air cooled motocross bike,it was all of a 20 minute job to swap pistons,but we didn't ever worry about the barrels for the majority of a season at 20:1.I'm really failing to see any disadvantage to running a 2 stroke at 32:1,but i sure see a disadvantage to running them at 50:1.Not many of us on here are really tree huggers,lol
Scary part is i don't think you are

How embarrassing it will be when the green police arrest me while I'm pushing my 2-stroke Lawn Boy? Or my 2-stroke Craftsman snow blower?
Asking a question, there is zero hysteria. Many manu's are backwards compatible statements from what they first rerecorded versus what they recommend now which is less oil. I can say my machines dont like redline 2 stroke when mixed correctly, I use less just to run them. Those esters just don't like to get burned.
We were a Homelite dealer when their oil was 16:1...
I'm for sure not in the tree hugger camp, owning/racing dirt bikes, owning a diesel pusher, etc. But we have a mix of electric and gas lawn tools. Wife likes the e stuff for her garage and garden. And I bought Stihl's highest end e-chainsaw last year for trail work (with 2 batteries, just over a grand). I'd say they have their place. When I know I'm likely to be doing some big cutting, like yesterday, I put one of my several gas saws on the front of the bike. But that e-saw is pretty impressive too, and I've sawn some pretty good oaks with it. Battery blowers are awesome for stoking the campfire, but are not up to moving a lot of leaves. E-string trimmer is handy for small jobs, but not for trimming the whole acreage.
