My old and trusty Jonsered 2055 has finally slipped the mortal coil and will need to be replaced, thinking of going with the MS-280, being a little non technical will the bars and chains from the Jonsered fit the Sthil??

 

Have been recommended to put an additive into my two stroke oil a thing called ZX-1, web address ZX1 Home anybody using it or something similar, the cost of a new saw at this time is a real pain, and if these additives make it last a bit longer then I'm thinking its worth a try.

 

Cheers

never herd of the additives,,, but if u mix ur fuel properly you should be sorted, as for the saw what do you use it for,,, i have a husky 346xp silverside and its a fantastic little saw

Jonsered bars will fit some huskies as they are basically the same saw dont think they will fit the sthil, never used an additive just a correct mix with quality 2 stroke oil.:thumbup1:

Yes, its always a **** when something needs replacing.

Personally, I never use anyone elses fuel mix in my saws and always mix the fuel myself for using exactly measured amounts, no guessing or adding a drop of oil for luck.

To help myself pay for the expected and unexpected, I have several accounts for my business.

Into one goes the clients cheque, then I transfer my salary into my cheque account, leaving the tax and social charges then transfer an amount for business costs into yet another.

This way I never spend the money needed to run the business and always have enough to pay the social charges.

I imagine trade must be lean in Central Brittany at the moment...

A saw slipping it's mortal coil....Nah - just get the defibrillator out and bring it back to life.

 

Not much gets past me, sometimes the saw doesn't want to come back to life but it is inevitable in the end:thumbup:
