I got aspen... I won the lottery last week.:sneaky2:

 

I did have aspen, but pump fuel is cheaper. :sneaky2:

 

I jest or course.

 

No idea on stickers, they are just gimmicks and the end product talks for itself. Why become on of those companies that have stickers all over the place. :confused1:

Depends on the stickers; they don't have to look tacky. Their main purpose is to raise awareness in those ignorant of the product; that's what needs doing surely.

I got given a litre to try in climbing saw and 346xp

Both saws kept stalling in tickover,

So personally I wouldn't pay £20 for 5l

There is a lot to be said about tuning in saws. Was talking to Eddie over this at the show.

 

If the arborist is not in any way technical with a saw or two stroke engine they will not want to try tuning it. Especially with the worry of running it lean and seizing a saw, this will put people off tunning as it can destroy the saw and then the instant blame is on aspen. (Cough cough, dan)

 

If they have a small clue over how to tune they will do it and be fine.

 

So its not only the price of aspen but also the cost of the saw not running right and then having to send it to a dealer, then the dealer not knowing or caring about aspen so not tuning the saw back and just blaming the aspen and telling the user to go back to pump fuel. This will put the dealer off and the customer off.

 

Then there is the odd occasion where the rubber parts disintegrate due to having pump fuel in them for so long, this again is an expense they would rather not have and then again its the not knowing how to do this and seeing your local dealer or a tech (cough cough again:lol:)

Trouble with that is, if you run out of alkylate and have to go back to the regular stuff you will be forever mucking about tuning the saw when all you want to do is pick it up and use it
