Amsoil in a older Eskimo Auger

I was going to try Amsoil Sabre Pro in my 7 year old Eskimo Z51 shark. Should I be concerned about switching oil after all these years? I always used the Jiffy 2 stroke oil and haven't had any problems. For the guys who use Amsoil do you go with 1:100 ratio of oil to fuel?

I used to use the jiffy oil in my jiffy auger for about four years then I switched to amsoil and have never looked back. I mix it at 100:1 and I use it in all my 2 stoke motors. I have been using it for about five years and never had a problem.

Check out Aspen fuel, I run it in my Husky and in my Jiffy with great success. 5 year shelf life, no ethanol, no mixing, no gumming up carbs.. its good stuff!! Both my augers fired right up without issue after sitting all summer.
7 bucks a liter but I only went through 2 or 3 last year in both augers, well worth the extra cost.

I've been running saber for several years now. I do 80 to 1. Just cautious I guess. I was thinking of trying the pre mix but it's a bit pricy. I get a foil pack of saber and when I fill the truck I pump 8 tenths of a gallon. To easy.

Where can you get the aspen fuel? I only burn about 2-3 liters a season in my auger.

How would a person find a Lambert in Regina. I have no idea what it is.
Thanks.

Fishing is good for your Mind, Body and Soul.
Actually catching a fish or two is a nice by product of a day well spent.
The next time that you don't feel like going into work, don't give your Boss any excuses (Hes heard them all), just say, "I'm going fishing, wanna come".

X3 on aspen. Sooner spend a little more on the fuel than cleaning or rebuilding carb.

Thanks man, I have never heard of that name before but know exactly where that is as I grew up in East View.
I am interested in that product. I have a few other gas mix machines to so sounds good to me.

I have been using saber at 80 to 1 for 5 years now in my 10 year old Jiffy 3 hp I mix a gallon of premium from Shell gas they say no ethenol in premium but who knows. I have never had to de carbon my jiffy. I have seen that aspen type premix at lowes in Regina
