Outboard oil in a chainsaw?

[Al_Smith]

FWIW a long time ago we used the same gas in the old saws as we did in the Evinrudes .Must not have hurt them because those still around still run .You have to work real hard to kill an Evinrude or a McCulloch .Geeze  that stuff was mixed 16 to 1 with outboard oil. How it didn't lock them up must just be  miracle . --No before anybody asks I don't do that any more ,that was over 50 years ago .Back when I wore a leather MC jacket,wore a duck tailed hair cut and my teeth didn't reside  in a cup over night .

   I am sure no expert but I run the same exact mix, like @Southside using WalMart's 2 cycle oil in everything requiring mixed gas. Since I use a 50:1 mix in my 25 hp Johnson outboard, Sthil FS85 weedeater, wife's Sthil MS180, my Sthil MS441 & MS440 chainsaws, and even my Craftsman flea market special leaf blower. I use the mix interchangeably and this time of year I am dumping my outboard tanks in my small cans and using it in my chainsaws so I don't start my spring fishing with old gas.
