Just got home with the new 6401. Actually reading the manual, and I come across this- 50:1 if using Makita oil, 40:1 when using other oils. Why?

+1 to this. I had to tweek mine just a hair when I went with a different mix. Got tired of dealing with multiple gas cans of different mixes. Now I only have two.atvdave said:Keep in mind... Check your spark plug color... less than 50:1 will lean out your fuel to air mix.. If running 40:1 or less you may need to richen up your carb...
change from Stihl ultra? or change ratios? I have just been using generic synthetic and am happy with that. You saw a LOT more than I do, though.smokinjay said:Milling I run 40:1 and cross cutting 50:1 stihl ultra but may change do to price.

Glad to hear I am all in! Cant justify stihl anymore with a 42oz tank.

Yeah I was gonna strain a bottle of Ultra, gotta be gold or diamond flakes in there.
Brands ratios are good. lol Stihl is way to much.Danno77 said:change from Stihl ultra? or change ratios? I have just been using generic synthetic and am happy with that.
