    The myth of high compression in 2-strokes

    I lived “in town” for 20 years. Never had an outage. I moved onto the farm about 18 years ago and have been without power ever year for about a week at a time. Like most, I’ve been terribly under funded so, in ths last few years, finally got a portable generator and am catching up with best...

    The myth of high compression in 2-strokes

    Can‘t beat experience! Im strictly a homeowner firewood cutting enthusiast that also maintains the farm. I will say with all honesty that I’ve only recently, after 40 years, experienced the horrors of bad fuel and it was in our standby generator Of all things. It had premium fuel but hadn’t run...

    Ah man, I wanted a 748 in the worse way. 2002. I almost bought one a couple years ago.

    The myth of high compression in 2-strokes

    How about a tuned saw? Also, if you run Something a 110 octane in a stock saw, is there any draw back? I understand the function of octane in 4 stroke engines.

    The myth of high compression in 2-strokes

    So, what octane fuel should you run in a tuned saw? is There any reason not to run higher octane fuels on stock modern pro saws?

    Yes, I opened the high end mixture (to allow more fuel). Just till it broke from 4 cycling to two cycling. Seems to like it there. When I pull the cylinder to swap with the larger one, I’m going to change the carb, check all the lines and change the boot. I like these 60 cc saws. Should be a fun...

    034 AV Sagging.

    Well, I’m my my first post I’m describing that The saw is bogging as some would say. I mentioned I did richen it a little bit. Later, a few people mentioned a push up bra. Then I described how I changed the fuel and it seemed to run better. Some one posted in French to which I repeated the later...

    I guess I’m not understanding what your point is there.

    I fattened up the mixture and changed fuel. Working good now.

    034 AV Sagging.

    Just trashed my fuel and remixed a batch. 93 octane + octane boost, Motul 800 2T factory line road, 50:1 just to be safe. Fuel line and filter are clear. its got good compression. Plug looks new. There’s excessive carbon on the the top of the piston but I did richen it up a bit on the last bit...

    T Thanks. Can’t tell whether your being sarcastic or not but, thanks the same. I’ve ruled out piston scoring, muffler, and a couple others but, thanks the same. sagging, bogging, Mitsubishi itchy *****, it’s all the same to me.

    That’s true, I’ll look at that Thanks.

    Sagging. When the saw sounds like it’s just losing power. Not pulling and rpms drop slightly even if you lighten the load on the saw. An air leak would make it lean over heat some, and I’m thinking that, in the cut, if it gets lean, it would lose power and sag if the air leak were severe enough...

    Hey all. I picked up an 034. so far I’ve fixed a couple hidden issues with it and it seems sound. I plan on upgrading it to a super with piston/cyl/cab/muffler and then have it ported. I have been running it a Little in current condition. Looks like some one replace the piston cylinder already...

    What's The Best Tachometer?

    Ok fellas, it is February 2020 and there’s new tech out there regarding tachs. I see a new Stihl EDT 9 but there’s no description about how it works. I know mostly how tachs work but I’ve heard the smart saws with their computerized carburetor is not compatible with certain older tach-“nology”...

    MS461 or MS461R ?

    Mike, Would the 046 have an exhaust stratified charge vs an intake stratified charge found on the newer saws?

    MS461 or MS461R ?

    I like them because they give me twice as many options when felling.
