don't by the cheaper outboard oil!! it combusts befor entering
the combustion chamber, and will roast a 2-stroke in short order.

Beg to differ with you. My experience has not shown that at all.

on a stihl chainsaw turning 13,000 rpm no load it will carbon
track the main bearings and lean seize the piston. on a piece of
crap like ryobi, or the other reed motors and low rpm equipment it may
work out.
8 years of small engine service experience showed me that, and we
did it at stihl school to a brand new saw. try your luck,

This sounds more like a Stihl problem than an oil problem. I use 100:1
synthetic in my Stihl chainsaw. After 20 years and cutting 1-2 cords/year it
runs and starts great.
