Q.
I have had some retailers tell me that your 100:1 Pre-mix
2-Cycle Oil will carbon the valves and make them stick. I
started out using
AMSOIL
at 80:1 and have had trouble starting chain saws and weed
whackers. An Echo dealer told me not to use
AMSOIL
or my warranty would be void. Do I need to reset the carburetor
setting? As it is now the saw floods out and won't start until I
turn it upside down and let it stand overnight. My Mac saws call
for 40:1 and Echo is 50:1. Where do I go from here??
A.
There should be no need to adjust the carburetor
when using the synthetic two cycle oil. The use of
AMSOIL
in these applications does not void the warranty from
the manufacturer. It appears, based on your description, that
too much oil is being mixed with the gasoline loading up the
engines. The best ratio with the
AMSOIL
would be 100:1. That will be the best ratio to insure good
performance and that exhaust valves do not carbon up
