This is just silly.
As another poster pointed out, we have much better oils available today. Your tiller says straight 30W mixed 16 to 1 because that is what was available in 1950. Now we have semi-synthetic and full synthetic oils, all light years better than 30W.
I have seen tons of old 30W using saws with carboned up ports from that dino oil. Don't see that with synthetic. My opinion is modern saws are more likely to burn up from the much higher RPMs they run over the vintage stuff. 9K rpm vs 13K. That and poor air filtration.
For myself, I use 32 to 1 synthetic in everything 2 stroke, from my 2 man Disstons and Homelite muscle saws to my modern high winding Husky 357.
If you wonder about my qualifications, I own around 250 saws and have been through most of them.
And, to clarify, my only point is simply to say that old oil mix specs are just that, old and obsolete. Would you insist that the 30W oil you use also be 60 years old?

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
