Shame its  25:1 not  50:1 two mixes a hassle.

 

I run my 25:1 Chinese top handle saw on Aspen2 same as my Husqvarna and Stihl and it's had no problems in a couple of years. Put some decent oil in the mix and just use it.

Mix to the oil stated mix rate, not the engine.

Seems a little light, can't help but wonder what they've left out...

I had one veeerrrry similar called a Woodstar bought in France for €89.

I've a Woodstar top handle too.

The groundsaw felt good in use, I liked the feel, the engine note and I knew it would get better after a couple of tanks had run through it.

 I thought it a real bargain for the 20min it ran although not as powerfull as the Stihl 261c I was used too, then it just stopped, never to light up again.

I took it back having emptied the Aspen out first and exchanged it for another which I couldn't even get to turn over!

 I'm saving for a Stihl 500i now...

One point I will make.

These low priced saws do consume more fuel than the pro saws.

My Chinesium top handle consumption is at least double that of a Stihl 150 for similar power.
