So what oil are you using? Also where do you get 2 stroke oil, do auto parts stores carry it? Right now I am using chainsaw 2 stroke because it was given to me for free. What should I change to?
I use Belray MC-1 in all my 2 strokes...yard equipment, model airplanes, and my MAB. It's always treated me right...

Baker's Grade AA Castor Oil - SIG Mfg. Co., Inc.
I've had no issues with gunk buildup running 100% castor oil but you wish, you can blend it 3oz of cheap 2 stroke oil (walmart stuff ok) with 1 oz of castor oil for total of 4oz per gallon.
I have only used Amsoil oils.
Justin I do not see why you switched to Yamalube 2r other than the cost, but IMO Amsoil is the founder of synthetic oils so they make the best synthetic oils. There is a reason why they don't sell them at retail stores.
With Amsoil I have only heard good results and haven't heard any one experiencing carbon build up. With Castrol oil some experienced some carbon build up in their engines, but it worked just fine.

Opti-2 found at tractor supply store. Run it in all my 2 stroke stuff, Bike, leaf blower, weedwacker etc..
Amsoil Dominator and pure castor oil in the ratios you mention. Stays clean, power like a raped ape and smells really, really good.
Best combo. Ever.
People should try this!!

Nothing wrong with it. No matter what after all these years, castor oil still makes the best ring seal and extreme protection. Mixed with synthetic oil to keep it clean, it is an awesome combo.
I use Red Line 2-stroke racing oil, but that's because I run on alcohol. I've had great results with it though, and it also works with gasoline. The 16 ounce bottle usually sells for $9.
Yep, just a kiss of castor is all you need...the only reason I use 100% is because its what I have on hand by the gallon when I blend my own model airplane fuel. I have at least 230 hours on my engine to date in the past 2 years and runs better than new.
Yep...that castor is good stuff. I mix my own airplane fuel as well using Klotz 80% syn 20% Castor / methanol / nitro and a few drops of armour all for anti foaming, but even when I buy full synthethic glow fuel like Cool Power 15%....I still like to add a couple ounces to it. I have also used AAA bakers castor as well, but boy is it messy even though it works good. I have owned over a 100 model engines and am a strong believer in Castor....so it stands to reason it would probably work good in the larger 2 stroke on my bike, but I havn't used Castor in my bike or any of my gasoline powered planes. I may have to try it some time. Right now I just use a good ashless 2 stroke air cooled oil mixed 32:1, but I have also been considering trying the Opti 2 synthetic oil mixed 100:1and I know several guys who have had good luck with the Amsoil. Just hard to get myself to run something with that small of amount of oil in the fuel, but I know of lots of folks who do with good success.
