I did it 2 years now I was reading a old school snow mobile mechanic you can start a snowmobile with starting fluid just don.t run it. I was out to prove it. What is it worse to a saw out of fuel for storage? The old lawn boy was started many times with starting fluid. The old rig has to close...

I always like a 50 cc saw. My 50 and 51 was nice saws about always a glitch this or that. Had a bare wire started when they wanted to after warmed up. I got a 550 auto tune had a learning curve. I got the hang of it and has been great a flat out beast. In 1981 had a 028 ran great for awhile the...

I got a old 298 I gave don.t remember how much. At the time 25 years ago was thinking the 298 is getting old and should up date. I bought a used 394 on Ebay. I think 300 hundred bucks. I got it DOA a little upset. To start I never seen a fuel tank with so much dirt. I bought original parts...

I buy gas in the fall I like to keep 30 or 40 gallons around. I stored it for 2 years many times ran just fine. I use strartron a blue bottle. I will fill the generator let it set for 2 years and replace. I should have done a video a 272 Husqvarna set for 10 years never dump the fuel added...

A bog down is about always a fuel delivery problem. With man or machine you will not out run your heart and lungs. A engine will not produce good power with lack of fuel . I went from a 3mile run to maybe half mile I had the widow maker. After surgery the run output is way higher.

For me just a learning curve. Idle has a nice sound

You will spend money and find what works for you. I ran chainsaws since 1980 I started with Stihl with a lot of problems. I watch a old man back then buck out load after load with a small Husqvarna. I was looking every load the Stihl would break. I went to town and bought a 50 special was real...

i MADE giant.piles of firewood I was working a lot! other people were playing I would get ask for hand outs. Not one single person ask to help. I have a old saying comfort kills. Pay attention and you will see it. One example a young person setting on a porch all day I worked very hard that day...

I have a 298 let it set a few years and will test your arm muscles. I did do a compression test about off the charts 180 one pull. I never did anything to this saw no gas lines carburetor rebuild just ran it. Old saws will wear you out running them. New saws have way more comfort built in. For...

I got that way over the years just use what works for you. Talk to the people that work on the stuff not the sales people.

I think I got my Drolet in 2015. And still learning. I use to load it 3 times a day this year I went with 2 I might get down to 74 F . This tundra never smoke in the house when opening the door I gave 1400 or 1500 dollars for a machine that delivered. Almost no smoke as a avid runner Nice and...

With a cyclone action like Husqvarna the need is far less. I have a 51 I bought new late 90es same air filter really never seen it dirty. My 25 horse Briggs has about the same thing I pop the cover off same thing pre filter looks great. The one I do with air cooled engines I take a leaf blower...

I read many reports on oil injection. The failure rate was very low I read one put brake fuild in the oil tank I had a 84 Evinrude with VRO oiling did great water pump not so good got hot scored it up

I was cutting firewood I seen a saw with bark box that would destroy most people ears. Even if did have more power that I never seen before my stock 372 was saying was blowing it away. With out hurting my ears .To hop up a motor takes far more skills than ripping the muffler apart really not...

I owned both a 50 and 51 since 1987 . And severed me very well. I bought the 550 last year I had a learning curve. The idle on a auto tune I can not match. Always perfect I did have a little trouble with hot starts . I got that figure out. What I got is a saw that starts very easy and runs very...

Did 5minutes of research. I found no evidence of what you stated. aspen is alkylate fuel no mention in trufuel trufuel comes in a metal can aspen is plastic I could find nothing to prove this. I never had a problem with pump fuel even with storage. Now if I had a problem I would only use aspen I...
