Strikemaster fuel mix

[harvey lee]

I highly doubt that the Sabre oil caused any issues with the cylinder. I would guess that a wrong fuel mixture or seafoam was the culprit.

[eurolarva]

It probably is not the oil or the seafoam. If a piece of debris gets logged in the carb the carburetor will burn lean. A lean running carburetor will burn out a cylinder. This is one of the reasons you should never burn out your gas at the end of the season on a two stroke without using some kind of fogging oil. I use regular unleaded at 80 to 1 and never a problem. The only reason anyone should be using high octane gas is if it is non oxygenated. Two strokes are not high compression motors so they dont need the extra octane. Higher octane fuels dont burn as well in two stroke motors and are more prone to carbon build up.

When poring gas into your auger make sure there is a fuel screen in your gas can. If not put one in a funnel that you pore into your auger.

Just went to the Amsiol site and found a dealer 5 blocks away from my work.

Wouldn't have known otherwise.

I will try it out this weekend.

I went from 32-1 to 40-1 and my SM has never started and ran as well. 100-1 in any 2 cycle makes me nervous

Did me to at first but I run 80:1 now with no problems. Thinking of trying 100:1

This is with amsoil

[MidCoast]

I am using 40:1 by fuel mix by Strikemaster with Premium gasoline and my Lazer Pro Solo works GREAT. So far it has been starting up right away.

[Dothedew]

80:1 Amsoil Sabre Pro, then never look back

I want to make the switch to 80:1 Amsoil Sabre Pro since everybody in here says that's the best mix. Currently using strikemaster 40:1 mix. How do you mix the Amsoil to get it to 80:1 mix from a bottle that's 100:1??? I'm confuse... help me out

[Northlander]

8/10 a gallon of gas instead of a whole gallon. Then mix in your pillow packet of Sabre.

[eyebjim]

The bottle just says 100:1 because Amsoil say you can use it as thin as 100:1. That doesn't mean you can't mix it richer like 80:1.

To mix at 80:1 mix 1.6 ounces of Amsoil sabre pro into 1 gallon of gas.

To Mix at 100:1 mix 1.3 ounces of oil to 1 gallon of gas.

[eurolarva]

Pillow packs are 1.5 oz. If you mix that with 1 gallon of gas (128 oz) the ratio is 85.33 to 1 which is close enough to 80 to 1. Remember amsoil says to mix this 100 to 1. People started mixing it 80 to 1 cause they were scared. I use a pillow pack to a gallon and have been doing so for three years with no ill effects.
