Stihl 4-mix engines

The oil I have used for a long long long time is Motul Spec DI Jet 2T. Now, it was designed for high performance SeaDoo engines, but it exceeds API-TC, JASO-FC and ISO-L-EGD specs and is more than suitable for the Stihl 4-Mix and 2 stroke engines. It's also 82% biodegradable, has virtually no smell and there is no smoke in use. AND it's £36.44 for 4 litres from Opie Oils.

 

That stupid plastic shaft alignment bit....I agree! I bought a whole handful of spares a year back.

Hi all,

 

Just got a brand new KM130 from a Suffolk Stihl dealer. I've used the premixed fuel recommended for the machine and I'm not impressed. It's ok up to half throttle but above that there is no appreciable increase in revs up to full throttle, it's destinctly unhappy and there is an increase in the machines vibration level. I took it back for the dealer for them to have a look at and they say it's running fine. Really? Is this true? What would be the point in having a throttle that is only good for 50% of its travel? I would really appreciate your thoughts.
