    What octane fuel and what ratio do you use in your saws

    A fuel rep from sunoco explained to me that non ethanated is good for a year , whereas ethanated thirty days due to phase separation stabilized sixty max in air tight containers . The only reason new saw dealers say use 93 w ethanol 10% is to keep the combustion chamber temps cooler then 87 e 10 .

    Octane

    see all I have here is low test non ethanated for ten cent more then ethanated low test. Either way I run non ethanated no matter what corn gas ruins diaphrams in the small engine carbs as well as fuel pressure regulators in riding mowers too . Fuel pumps on riding mowers can run in upwards of a...

    Octane

    The dealer told you thid due to ethanol in todays fuels . The ethanol draws moisture and isnt any good for the minumum octane needed by the manufacturer to feel comfortable to not see any adverse effects from it . Basically if you use 87 it burns hotter in the combustion chamber then 93 . The...

    Husky 455 rancher or stihl 039

    I like the 455 personally but if I was talking new , I might go for a 5105 dolmar if a dealers close . In terms of money you'll get a prosumer saw for the same $$. Both of those saws cant match the production of it without modding them , although the 390s are bigger they dont stack up in class...

    favorite tree?

    I like the smooth bark or sour nut hickory personally . They are usually straight , produce a wood that has a decent color . Doesnt cut terribly bad , splits very well when wet and leaves a nice canopy on the top.

    Husqvarna 141 crank seals?

    Lol everyone assumes the 036 isnt up to par but it out cuts a friends 036 an a 361 I cut beside twice a month . My chains are razor sharp as well but that solid es bar makes almost a pound in itself vs the laminated bars on my dolmar and huskys . I think huskys more of a rpm saw and stihls more...

    Problem switching from 87 octane to 93 in a 372

    Try putting a hot plug in the saw first lower octanes burn hotterand vice versa. Could very well be you have weak spark . 93 is prevention against ethanol by lowering cylinder temps in case of phase separation that occurs with corn gas. The best bet is always look up on pure gas dot whatever and...

    You can read post here or find a copy of the two stroke tuners handbook that explains the timing of two stroke engines and how to increase power curves by changing exhaust and intake heights as well as what transfer ports do. The basic port job you can do without too much knowledge is to widen...

    Filing kits

    +1 for the granberg you just cant get better results so much so that I sharpen factory stihl chain out of the box . Once you set it up on the bar you wont go to another saw shop for chain maintenance. Buy good quality files and you will have some of the best results . It will also file every...

    difference between an .325 and 3/8

    The pitch .325 is a smaller top cutter and tie strap it is easier to turn for a saw . The 3/8 is a bigger top cutter and tie strap . Mainly in a 20 " chain has more cutters in .325 than the 3/8. Some guys say that .325 is better for hardwoods then 3/8 due to more cutters and less bite . I...

    Ethonal free gasoline

    The fuel companies get a rebate for every gallon used . And it does gain in the tanks 10 % isnt real its more like 20% being found in every tank . Maryland has seen jumps in ethanol contents to double . It has a tendency to pocket in the tanks . The reason this goes on is because until the...
