Strikemaster solo’s and amsoil…

I have read that some guys are running amsoil in their solos. Which amsoil are you running? I’m guessing that a synthetic oil is fine in the solos??? I think amsoil is great stuff and would like to run it in my new solo.

Gotta love the smell of that amsoil burning.

A lot of guys like the Saber oil.

Stay within the oil ratio recommendation guidelines and you’ll have one impressive machine that will last a long, long time.

is the recommended mix the same as whats listed on strikemasters website? just to be clear?

1. Oil

To operate your engine you will need to use a clean, high-quality, 2-cycle oil mixed with fuel at a ratio
of 40:1 (3.2 fl. oz. to 1 gallon of gas). DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC OIL. DO NOT use a fuel/oil mixture
leaner than 50:1 (2.6 fl. oz. to 1 gallon of gas).

So no synthetics???

Last year the synthetics were OK. Did they change that for 2010? I know last year at the start of the season there was an official clarification sent out by Solo that the synthetics were fine.

I will only run amsoil… just don’t lean the heck out of it and you will be fine.

I talked to the guys at Strikemaster and they said Synthetic was fine, just no leaner than 50:1. I run Amsoil Saber at 50:1 and it purrs like a Kitten and cuts like a Lion!
