A month or so ago i convinced a local gardener to try Aspen.

 

He came in today a bit annoyed that Aspen had killed his machine, a Tanaka long reach hedgecutter.

 

"the aspen must have blocked the carb jets as its lost all power. I have changed back to petrol, but it still does not work. Must be the Aspen blocked the jets"

 

Now, I hear these tales from time to time, as well as seeing threads on here such as "Aspen killed my machine".

 

But in my experience this is not usually the case, and this time was no exception. The machine started but refused to pick up any revs. A hand over the exhaust proved there was no exhaust gas pressure, so I quickly took out the spark arrestor gauze which was totally choked with a damp, oily carbon, overlying a harder dry carbon deposit.

 

This had obviously built up for some time, so I ran the machine without the gauze. Perfect, although a little smoky on the oil rich pump petrol mix.

 

"crikey, has not run that well for months" says the customer.

 

Just goes to prove that everyone just wants something to blame, and if the machine has just started using Aspen then it gets the blame. Totally unfairly.

 

He has now gone back to the Aspen now that faith is restored, and he will see a gradual further improvement as the carbon deposits of the upper cylinder and exhaust very slowly disperse.

my saws and blower are still going great on the stuff 👌 need to purchase more soon 😞

Hi all,

 

Great news that more people are giving Aspen a try and seeing for themselves what all the fuss is about!

 

To all those who have used Aspen for some time, thank you!

 

I am always here for help and advise on 07568 108953 or email [email protected]

 

If you have used aspen for some time my office would love to hear about it.

Let us know what type of business you have and what machines you run on Aspen. Tell us why you switched and what changes it has made for you.

 

Email [email protected]

 

All the best

 

Eddie
