I am not trying to open a can of worms here but these are the facts that I have been given.  My two local dealers, one sells Stihl & Husky and the other just Husky both told me to run 40:1.  The ONLY reason they, the MFG tell you to run 50:1 is to pass the EPA requirements.  The guy who owns the Stihl Husky shop is a full time logger running a 6 man crew and does not sell pre-measured 50:1 bottles in his shop any more do to scoring issues.  I have talked to Husky myself and they have told me 40:1 is better, just adjuster the carb (but I didn't tell you that).  EPA stuff is why we now have 4 stroke outboards, snowmobiles and 50:1.

hey tjack i never see 40:1 where can you get it or do you mix it differently

Hey David
You can pick up large graduated plastic
syringe at Walmart called the "MixMiser", made for measuring/mixing 2 stroke oil with gas.
I just bought one.I think they are about $3 US.
I have a bunch of 50:1 pre-measured bottles to use up so this little gizmo makes things easy to accurately measure 40:1 mix. ;D

thanks blue. ;D

To mix your oil and gas at 40:1 using 50:1 premeasured bottles, add 2 gallons of gas instead of 2.5, or 4 instead of 5 gallons depending on the size bottle you have.

All of my saws run at 40:1 with no fouling or excess smoke. I ran Husky oil at 40:1 for quite awhile until it was all gone then switched over to Mobil MX2T synthetic. Now everything is clean as a whistle and the oil costs no more than the Husky black bottle when I buy it at Auto Zone. They also sell a handy bottle for measuring the correct amount of oil to fuel for about $3.
