One reason I use Aspen

[GardenKit]

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.

Yeah, I've been getting it from Riverlea but it's a bit of a trek from Haverfordwest.

I tried encouraging MPH Hire - I think they may have stocked Aspen in the past/ many years ago, but had trouble shifting it.

 

Maybe the new Massey Ferguson dealers at Withybush (Haverfordwest) would consider stocking it?.... they have a small shop front. See at bottom of page here: http://brodyrevansbros.co.uk/locations.html

cheers, steve
