Nothing makes me more nervous than tearing a motor apart and rebuilding it... i always get butterfly's once im about ready to start it. Always a relief when it runs😂
Richard can tear down and rebuild a motor as quickly as some of us would still be breathing hard, staring, and debating which torx size to use, and where to begin removing fasteners, etc. 😊 😆
hello richard As always very interesting video on oil 2 times and ratio on my husqvarna 550 xp I tried the ratio 40/1 of oil husq and aspen 4 it works not well with the autotune it stops to deceleration despite having left 3 minutes in slow motion then thoroughly in a length of wood I came back to aspen 2 pre-mixed at 50/ 1 is all returned in order by cons my saws with screw settings 40/1 works well thank you for your reply soon
Yep 1600+ for a 500i. Just got one a few months ago. Great saw but a little thirsty for fuel. I would be sick if I smashed it but especially on the first day!! Great job getting that one put back together Mr. Flagg.
i was going to ask you same question on the little nylon piece in the bag that comes with the case , i had it in mine , and never found out what it is for or where it goes , i even inspected both old cases and never found it on them either , so if you do find out , please do let me know ,
I've used both and I think they both do fantastic jobs but I think HP2 is slightly better. I think Richard has said in other videos that HP2 is about as good as it gets but I don't want to speak for him
Saber burns dirtier than HP2. There’s always some black deposits on the sides of the pistons from it. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but its throwing some alarm bells to me when hp2 or motul 800 keeps everything sparkling and clean even after hundreds of tanks.
I have my oiler turned up full because I run long bars. I already use tank for tank, if it was any more I would have to fill the oil more than the gas.
Hi Richard, your customer is lucky to have a repairman like you. The quality of the dealer shops these days is a shame. If it ain’t new then they just call a friend for help. THey would be better off watching this channel, they might just learn something. I for one would like to you see you back on the mule saw for some additional data and “reality” of the bike 2T oils and what they can do for a saw. I know you like the Honda stuff, and I just might break my promise of never using anything but the Motul 800 2T in my saws because I know you pretty well now and I know that is a good thing.I did like the film coverage that was in this case, but that just might be the blubbering of a new saw that didn’t even break in yet. The good thing is if you’re going to buy new and break it in, that a good way to start and not use the Stihl oil unless the fear of God sets in that the warranty will be gone if something like that happens. At $1800+ in my area for a 500i, 32”, I’d think about it too, unless I had you around to save it! ;) I hope the guys using this rig learned a valuable lesson. Thanks for the great info as always.
Must say I'm not overly impressed with design of the cases on those saws...doesn't look the strongest. yeah they are priced ridiculously here in the uk too
@Dolmar-Rick that's because they tried to make them as light as possible for pro use, they are a good saw. If u drive over them or let them under a falling tree what saw would survive?
Hello, a little off topic question I rebulided our old ms250 chainsaw with aliexpress carburator kit and a near localshop cheap cylinder and piston make it to run tried to tune but either lean or reach its going bog dawn in wood also after tried to cut i notice some burned black oil betwen the exhaust and engine driping down -My main question is its can be a bad cylinder by factory or it would not run at all if the cylinder is bad ?
Sounds like it's running really rich. Or something with the carb isn't stopping the fuel from filling the carb and it's over flowing. I don't know a lot about saws but I have worked on many carbs on atvs and mx bikes.
@@richardflagg3084 Richard, I love your videos! I've been alternating between the HP2 and the red VP Racing synthetic with similar results at 40:1. Zero carbon on the piston crown and the crankcase and underside of the piston have a healthy amount of pooling, "slicker than a minnow". The VP two-stroke is readily available at my local Walmart at $10 for 16oz. Thanks again!
I run stihl mix in all my 2 cycle stuff. And will switch over to Honda hp2. Will the two oils mix or do I need to drain the gas tanks. Awesome info in your videos. Thanks for a response from the Saw Whisper.👍
@@richardflagg3084 Mr. Flagg , if you are going to test more oils, i would like to sugest the motorex cross power 2t and the motul 710 , best regards keep up the good work
