    mixing ratios for 2 stroke chainsaws

    We all take risks in life, one has to judge what that risk is and if it is worth taking. Some people won't fly single engine over mountains, some do. You mitigate the risk as much as possible to make it acceptable.

    mixing ratios for 2 stroke chainsaws

    After exposure it will stay in the blood for about a month give or take, not 48 hours. No bone biopsy's needed with modern day technology....... It is absorbed into the bone where it can reside for many many years, less for other organs. It is released back into the blood stream slowly so it...

    mixing ratios for 2 stroke chainsaws

    I use 100LL in all my yard equipment and chainsaws, there is a good reason for me. It lasts indefinitely, doesn't varnish or ruin any parts of the carb no matter how long I leave it in the tank. I'm not a professional landscaper, arborist or in the tree cutting business so my exposure is pretty...

    AV Gas

    AV Gas

    I don’t know if the Green 100/130 is produced much anymore, maybe in small batches for older military planes. The purple 115/145 is made especially for the Reno air races I believe.

    AV Gas

    100LL is the same as it always has been, 100 octane blue in color. It is called low lead, but not really that low in lead. The fuel almost lasts indefinitely without going bad and will not form varnish etc. I've used it in all my lawn and garden equipment for years. I never drain the fuel out in...

    AV Gas

    It comes as 100 octane low lead (100LL), no such thing as 103LL at any airport that I know of.

    Can you Hone a factory 034 cylinder?

    That is the safest and least destructive way of doing it.

    Transfer removal

    I’ve always used strong muriatic acid, you must be careful with it and not get in on non plated surfaces. Then a scotch bright pad after.

    2-Stroke Mix Oil

    I have used leaded fuel in all 2 strokes/yard tools for years and I know it has not affected my blood lead level. I occasionally have it tested because of other hobbies I enjoy.

    I got the Makita 6401 upgrade itch.
