Chainsaw beginner - can't get Husq going after refuel

Pump fuel in the UK can legally contain up to 5% ethanol without any labelling or warning as such. this 5% limit will stay untill at least 2013. This is when they will consider 10% ethanol being introduced.

 

 

 

Arbogrunt, Please say it isn't so!, I just read that yin's have ethanol mixed with your fuel stocks?. I can understand how Stupid the American public can be to allow it but you have it over your way too?

Please take on board what has been said about your safety.

Yeah I bought - at great expense - all the ppe. Just sawed up a large pallet for fire kindle.

 

For the record I've no history of working with machinery and to me it's as mystifying as the internet would be to people in their 70s. But thanks for all the advice.

I would recomend a short traing course in the safe use of saws, a lot is common sense, but issues like kick-back and cutting wood with nails in (pallets) are subjects that a competent instructor would be teaching you about, as well as saw maintenance, protect your investment and your safety.

Thank God for that! just ploughed through 8-9 entertaining pages of all and sundry giving you some good (and some not so helpful advice!), well done, I was really impressed at how much everyone wanted to help, I had a Husky for my first saw and loved how easy it was to start and use, should be a doddle from now on, just be safe!

Well done, perhaps a learning curve you'd prefer not to do, but at least you were honest enough to admit your error & I see you have obtained some PPE.

 

In my previous career as an instructor in the RN nuclear school, I used to say there was no such thing as a stupid question...

 

Take care
