Are there any negatives to using avgas in a chainsaw? Old saws? modern saws? Looks like we'll be to that point before long!

Been using it for a few years now and have had only one minor issue.
It has a higher evaporation rate so when in a saw parked on a shelf
for an extended period of time the gas can evaporate and just leave
the oil in the carb making it hard to start. Once started the saw is fine.
Usually just a squirt down the carb and off an runnin.

....it sure smells like the drag strip when i am cutting wood though:msp_thumbup:
The light ends that you'd find in mogas, that vaporize first and start the fire, so to speak, would be a problem in avgas. Once a plane gets up to altitude, the lower absolute pressure would enable them to vaporize, resulting in vapor lock. Which is not good.
The absence of these light ends in avgas would seem to cause the probs @ idle and in responsiveness that Brad mentions.
nitropropane but you didn,tWhat can we add to regular gas to get the same smell. I love the smell of race fuel exhaust (AV gas as well).

i have a friend that mixes his 50/50 with 93 octane pump gas,i don't know if that would make a difference or not,i always teased him about be stingy with the good gas:smile2:
