I have a 5105. I burned up a 5100 when presumably the dealer did not lower the high rpm. I used 91 octane gas. Dealer also said Opti oil was good and I could mix it at the Opti recommendations. After I got the 5105 from the dealer as a replacement, I ran with Opti, but at the same ratio spec'd by Dolmar. This last gallon of gas, however, I used the Opti ratio which is less oil.
I was cutting some hard dry wood yesterday, and the saw died. It would not start. The compression felt low. After a few hours, I pulled the plug, squirted in some 30 weight, and it fired up. After 24 hours I just fired it up again.
Any idea what is going on? Should I run it now? Or am I going to possibly damage something?
