    What oil and mixture are you using and why?

    I could but with my forgetfull mind now I'm not certain if I had already had another 2 cans of oil on hand before I bought that little 6 pack .

    Ooh that could be bad .A glop of that stuff over a stack of flap jacks would act like a laxatize I'd well imagine . Since this thread popped up I might have screwed up .I bought a new 6 pack of little jugs ,a jug a gallon stuff .It is sitting on my tool box with 4 jugs left and I mixed up 4...

    Aviation gas might be the ticket if you had the compression ratio at about 14 to 1 but very few people do on a work saw .If they did it really wouldn't be a work saw in the true sense of the word . Gas like Cam II and some of that other rocket fuel produced by Sun oil might be okay for a hot...
