Ya or Nay? A member here sent me some Stihl oil to get me by untill I could find a decient oil locally. In the mean time I found some Craftsman 2 stroke oil on clearance $.25 for the little bottle.
I don't remember if it's 40:1 or 50:1.
The Craftsman oil sure does seem to smoke alot. It's also leaving an oily deposit on the spark arester on my little generator.
Yes I mixed it with the correct amount of gas.
I figured that if it's good enough for a billion rpm chainsaw it should be fine for a cute little generator.
Maybe I was wrong?
My next test will be Torco GP-7! I used to run this oil in my dirtbikes and never had to do a top end again. It's EGD certified or whatever like the Still and Echo oils are.
Anyway has anybody ran the Craftsman oil and noticed smoke and oil dripping from the muffler?
