Lock up full of tools not being used.....after honest opinions!

[Daniël Bos]

Aspen is good stuff for tools, both for use and long time storage.

The potential issues are with older tools that have run on pump fuel for a long time.

If you've no intention of using only aspen in the future, just empty all fuel tanks.

Drain and clean the fuel tank in a

well ventilated area.

Dispose of fuel properly in

accordance with local

environmental requirements.

Run the engine until the carburetor

carburetor diaphragms sticking

together.

Remove the saw chain and guide

bar, clean them and spray with

corrosion inhibiting oil.

Thoroughly clean the machine –

pay special attention to the cylinder

It would cost you more to replace them than you would get for them if you sold them .

 

It shouldn't really. Used stuff always available on ebay so while a slight risk of buying a dud stuff goes for market value. So you should be able to buy similar equipment for a similar price.. keep minimum. .
