One reason I use Aspen

[GardenKit]

It is important to note that there are also tuning issues when switching between different makes of petrol, or switching between old petrol and fresh petrol.

Switching between summer grade and winter grade petrol also causes engines to run slightly differently, requiring tuning for optimum performance.

I get loads of 2 strokes in that run on petrol, but do not run quite right. A little tweak on the mixture screws will often sort them out.

 

But Aspen is no exception, it is after all, slightly different in density and vapour pressure to fresh pump petrol, so it is inevitable that some carbs will need a tweak.

 

Having said that, I have changed thousands over to Aspen and many have required no retuning at all, but some have required a slight adjustment.

 

This adjustment, if needed, is only needed on the L screw ( idle jet) and always needs to be a little richer, just to ensure a smooth idle and pick up. The adjustment will usually be no more than 1/8 turn and very, very occasionally, a 1/4 turn may be needed.

This is because Aspen is a little less volatile and as such can be slightly more difficult on cold start and tick over on some engines with 'colder' fuel lines.

 

The H screw needs no adjustment, as the difference in volatility is not noticed through the main jet.

 

Usually, an engine tuned to run on Aspen will have no problem coping with the slightly richer mixture when run on petrol.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Barrie. Usefull info. Never had trouble with starting, only real problem was

pickup on a small strimmer. I think it needed a good 1/4 turn.

The smaller the engine is the more likely the need for a bit of tweaking. 1/4 turn is nothing to worry about.

Hi Eddie

 

Hope you are well, you must call in some time. We never did hear from you about that prospect dealer who needed a bit more encouragement when we were away. Did you get him on board anyway?

but havent been using it in the saws or brushcutters

Well we have been on the Aspen for 7 months now, not noriced any cost rise over that period due to being stricter with leaving stuff running etc, l wouldn't go back to stinking petrol!

I'm on 2 weeks solid of hedge cutting whilst the 2 climbers take a holiday. Just me, The Afghan and an agency guy on rake.

Aspen, Aspen all the way, no headache or stinging eyes at the end of the day.
