Which saw to use for milling?

It ain't good for your saws health to blow compressed air into the bar oil jet.

I just paid 8.79$ for bar oil at my Husky dealer. Guess He is a pretty good one.

This may be a little off topic, but I have a 6 hp johnson outboard and there is an insignia at the fuel hookup that says 100/1. Is this enough oil? Been running it on this and seems to be ok, but lots of times I've run whatever mixed oil I have on hand. Never realized there was such a difference in water cooled and air cooled oil. Now I"m really wondering about this sticker that says 100 to 1

Thanks

There always has been and there always will be conflicting views on what mix ratio and in fact what brand of oil to use .Some people really get aggresive about it ,not I .

I get the greatest amusement baiting people about their oils etc .Some people really get their panties in a knot over this stuff . :D Then too some people get real personal if you say their brand of saw or their favorite builder is no better or worse than the next one .Oh sometimes my orneryness gets the best of me .

In my opinion ,water cooled or not 100 to 1 is a tad on the weak side but a thousand other people might want to argue that .
