auger mixture

[slurpie]

I have an 2003 strikemaster and an year old eskimo. Never used the the eskimo yet it's the mako model. Mixed the strikemaster 40:1 heard of alot of guys going leaner wondering what oil i can do that with, Amsoil or them saber packets?

[Esox_Magnum]

Amsoil saber for your augers, I run mine 80:1. No smoke, smoother running, well worth the price.

I use Amsoil Sabre Pro at a 80-1 ratio, which is 1.6 oz per gallon of gas. A lot of guys run it at a 100-1 (1.3 oz per gal) with no issues. For breakin on a new motor I would recommend either the factory recommended ratio with any 2 stroke oil or Amsoil Sabre at 50-1 (2.5 oz per gal).

You can get the pillow packs or an 8 oz bottle (which I prefer).

Amsoil definately.

[slipbobbin]

Amsoil all the way. Tried it last year in my year old strikemaster and just love the stuff. 80-1 also

You can go to the AMSOIL HSOforum and go to the dealer locator. Just put in your zip code and it will give you the closest dealers.

Also, you can buy it online from a FM sponsor - theoilman. You can google his HSOforum.

Here is a link to the oilman. I will never go back to regular 2 cycle mix. I use it in all of my 2 stroke motors at 80-1.

Get Amsoil here

[harvey lee]

I agree, buy it from the oilman. He is always helping out with answering questions and he will ship it to your door.

There is a guy just North of New Prague on 21. He is on the west side of the road, amsoil sign on end of driveway. I just stop in and there is usually someone home.

Bk19 in the Le Sueur area is also a Amsoil dealer to. Not sure on how far south were are talkin.

Just a quick question, I think I saw where the oil is about $1.40 for 1.5 oz and you mix that with a gallon for a 80:1 ratio, is that about right, if so $1.40 or so is not that bad

[mrpike1973]

i just looked at my amsoil its 1.5 oz says its 100:1 which means im not running it at 80:1 does this mean i'm ruining my moter i ran 40:1 the 1st tank full to break it in now i,m more cunfused than ever

[McGurk]

Running Amsiol Sabre Pro at 80-1 has a minimal difference IMHO to 100-1, just a hint more smoke. If you'd like, you can thin it out by adding more gas to the mixed tank. 1.5 oz at 100-1 ratio will need just over 1 1/8 gallons of gas, so a "long" gallon will get you there. I run 80-1 just so I have a little wiggle room if I misjudge my oil pouring.

If you already ran a tank of 40-1 for breakin, you can go to 80-1 WITH A SYNTHETIC OIL like Amsoil Sabre Pro and be just fine.

I started running Amsoil Sabre 100:1 in my auger 3 or 4 years ago. All my freinds thought I was nuts. Theyre like "your gonna blow up your auger". I will never again run the strikemaster or cheaper conventional oils at 25:1 it blows nasty [PoorWordUsage] out allover your shack and on the ice and into our ecosystem. I put in a Halo small engine plug and my 11 yr old strikemaster starts first pull weather its -30 or +30. 93 Octane non ethanol and 2 capfulls of sea foam per gallon. She runs pretty mean and clean for being a 2 stroke

The "pillow packs" of the AMSOIL Saber Professional are 1.5 oz, meant to mix 1 gallon of gas - if you get absolutely all of it out of the packet you will be a little richer than the 100-1. Many FMers prefer to be richer at around 80-1, though many use it at the leaner 100-1 - and all are happy with it. At 80-1 it is still nearly smokeless.

A new auger you can still use the Saber Professional, but I recommend running it at 50-1 for the first gallon of gas.

It is also available in larger packages: also popular is the 8-oz bottle that will mix 5 gallons at 80-1 or 6 gallons at 100-1. If you use a lot of gas this is definitely cheaper. If you just use a couple of gallons in a season I would stick with the pillow packets.

Amsoil Saber 100:1 here ... When I switched and put it in my father-in-laws old eskimo, it started and ran better & stronger then ever. I've been running it in my SM lazer ever since (except the first tank for break-in period).

Love that stuff.

[Fishnblood]

Not sure how south Metro you are but Napa in Inver Grove Heights carries Amsoil. The pillow packs I think are around 2 bucks or something.
