AMSOIL Sabre - I'm now a believer!!

[AvonAngler]

This is the second season I've run a 20 some year old Jiffy Model 30 that was stored brand new in my father-inlaws shed until last winter. It ran..just OK..after sitting for all those years but bogged down and would die unless the choke was on. It also did not idle that great. It was old enough that it required 24:1 mix and it smoked like an SOB too.

I read on the forums so many times about AMSOIL and finally after I read that guys were running it 80:1 or 100:1 even in old machines that call for 24:1, I decided to order some. Well it showed up today and I quickly mated one of the Sabre pillow packs with a gallon of fresh gas. I emptied the tank of my Jiffy and put the new mixture in.

I got it fired up and after a minute or so I could tell when the old mixture was out of the carb/fuel line. Holy #$!@!! it started running like a champ and was no billowing smoke! It idled like a top and I let it run for about 5 mins.

I guess I figured that all the reports of how much a difference this stuff makes were small exaggerations. I believe now! This stuff really does kick butt!

Yes it do!

[minnbowhunter]

Yup, been running 100:1 in all my 2 cycle engines for 3 years with Sabre, my chain saw really loves it. The stuff is fantastic.

14 years running amsoil in all my 2-strokes--sleds, jetski, outboards, weedwhipper,chainsaw, auger...ect. No issues yet.

WELCOME AvonAngler! The more you use the auger, the more you will see that Amsoil is all and more than it's advertised to be! If you have a Perm or a wheel house, you'll find that you can open the holes without slopping black GOO on the house walls, and you can even auger the holes with the house closed!! I have ALL my 2 strokes/air cooled motors on Amsoil, and they ALL start, and run better than they did new!! Try Sabre Outboard in an Outboard! I have a '77 Jonny 35hp on a Pontoon and I can easily backtroll into the wind without noticing exhaust smell! Try a tank full, you WON'T go back! Phred52

ok newbie here. what is so different out amsoil saber? from the sound of it you can run alot higher mixes for 2 stroke engines. but is there anything eles thats different about it?

[Phred52]

kcOmyy, It's a synthetic. Probably the BEST thing you can do is try a gallon for yourself!! Get a pillow pack of Amsoil Saber 100:1 premix and mix it up with 8/10ths of a gallon (80:1) or in a full gallon for 100:1. By the time you've run that full gallon through, you should be a believer. If you don't like it, switch back to the Dinosauer oil.

Yep what they said. I am into my first gallon. Wow what a difference. My auger starts and runs so much easier, the house is much, much cleaner. I am a believer!

Where to get a good deal on this stuff?

[Northlander]

I run Saber in all my 2 strokes and in my 4 stroke Yamaha 115 on my boat. The stuff is the real deal. With the pillow packets its super easy to mix up a gallon.

NOTE: for your pre-mix outboard use the Saber Outboard, the Saber Professional is for all air-cooled pre-mix 2-cycle engines.

[silverbulletguy]

How does using this affect the warranties on a new auger?

[Esox_Magnum]

On my Nils they told me no issues as long as I broke in at 50-1 after that I was good to go at any mix up to 100-1.

Wow you can back troll with your eskimo? jk

[Finlander]

Can you Amsoil at a retail store?

[slammer]

FF carries amsoil products but not sure if they have the one talked about here.

[hunter322]

whats the cost? does it give it more power or jut run better? ive herd about it before but never tried it.

[MNice]

All the times I've read posts like this, I still ask myself.... Why didn't I try is sooner. The stuff is just amazing. I also use the outboard sabre and it's the cats meow!!

[eyebjim]

You will notice a slight improvement in power especially in the newer units that have been set quite lean from the factory to satisfy envirnmental rules. less oil = more gas = a little less lean in the air/gas mixture.

Been using Amsoil Saber Professional in all my 2 strokes for years with great results. My son and I got on the ice for the first time this year yesterday. He got the auger out of the truck while I was doing something else and he started the auger. His next comment was, "Started in one pull.". I did have it running in my garage a couple of weeks ago though. I think it idles and runs smoother and has noticably more power with Saber. A lot of the time I will drill half way through the ice at about half throttle and then open it up just to keep the chips from flying all over.

[PmDavis300]

so you can just disregard the reccomended oil mix and use 100:1?

[eyebjim]

Only with Amsoil sabre. Not just any oil or any synthetic oil.
