Another excellent 562 video Mr. Richard. Nice machine and flow work what was revealed. I enjoyed the oil "pooling" commentary in the crankcase...very nice..
I have recently discovered your channel and glad I did. Some great discussions going on here and you are doing great on your videos. I have ran ultra in 3 stihls and motomix and I love my stihls . However when it comes to their lubricants they can keep them . I run 40:1 and their old orange bottle is great stuff . I am starting to try different other products and so far I have tested vp and I like it alot.
Everyone can run what they like obviously. After much deliberation I however settled on 42.5:1 with good old Orange Stihl HP (Castrol). I do hit the engines with a direct carb injected (engine running) de-carbon product 4-5 times a year.
Hey Rich, i currently have a 28 inch Tsumura bar that is at home on a ported 372. The oil holes are horrible about clogging on that bar and even with the oiler turned all the way up it doesn't oil like i want it to. I'm currently on one of the forums and apparently it is an issue that multiple people have. I personally believe it is because of how flared the tail of the bar is that lets a bunch of crap get pulled into the bar. Anyway nice work on the saw and as always, thanks for the great content. God Bless!
I would love to see how you do your combustion chamber work. I have watched hours Upon hours of video on the subject. I have an old lathe and can cut the base down but am not Confident enough to try the squish band yet.
They are pretty reliable to be honest. I respect your thinking. The newer standard carbs have issues we didn't used to see. "they just don't make em' like they used to" is truer now, than ever.
I have had a look back at some of you oil testing vids, I have one for you to test it is the opti - 2 two stroke oil it is like the dominator oil you can take it out too 100 to 1 in saws it is made in the U S if you can get the oil it would make a good test. I also never see any Valvoline 2 stroke test on you tube is it not a highly recommended oil in the states. Any way cheers.
@@MrJeepfreak1972 Pls dont use dominator in any engine that's not disassembled every few dozen hours. That 562 crank has rust on it. Yikes. Dominator is for engines that are used and are disassembled and cleaned/swapped often, it has no corrosion inhibitors in it. If the engine is used often enough its fine, if its not its a nightmare waiting to happen. I've seen a few saws wrecked by using it and then put away for half a year in a basement, the crank and bearings were completely brown/rusted. Done. Never seen that on any other non-racing oil, only on racing oils. And it makes sense. Avoid. Just get Saber from amsoil if you wanna stick to the brand.
@@em4703 I've been using it 5 years. I've done extensive storage testing ect in unheated garage in weather from 0 through 95 and high humidity. ZERO rust in any engine. I also don't run any ethanol fuel either. That no corrosion inhibitor nonsense is an internet rumor. Ask Amsoil. The oil is for any engine except outboards requiring TCW3, not because of rust, because outboards running on non tcw3 oil can carbon up from the ash based detergents.
They were destined for use around the 50:1 mix but many other tuber folks run 40 and 32:1, so I’m really sure that you’re NOT going to have an issue Mr George.
I have two M-Tronic saws. I run 25:1 in them without issue. I find its more oil dependant than the ratio. Some oils at 32:1 start giving even carbed saws tuning issues. I tried Castrol GO at 32:1 and I had an off idle stumble with my 201C and two manually adjusted saws wouldn't 4 stroke no mater how far out I adjusted the high needle. These are all 36cc and under. The Castrol ran fine in larger CC equipment I own.
@@MrJeepfreak1972 that’s quite interesting. I seem to be having that “lack” of 4stroke issue with my buddies CS355T Echo right now, and I’m running Echo Red Armor oil in it at approximately 32-1. But I definitely know that it’s NOT running lean.
That rusted conrod says otherwise. Racing oil, no corrosion inhibitors. All the acids from the combustion have a field day with anything made out of steel. I wonder how bad the bearings are
