High octane vs Standard Unleaded

Lol me and the 150/261 have been sipping aspen to gently bed them in 👍

 

261?! On aspen? Does it make the 261 work? In fact does anything? 150 is awesome on aspen, just takes a little drip to run, the fuel lasts forever, I'm still on break in with it!

I'd hurry and fix the 260, or get a husky, get rid of the awful 261, it amazes me a company can produce such poor saws to replace their most sold models, (201/261/362 being so poor in comparison)

Oddly Rudolph's aim was to counter the shock that spark ignition engines suffered with poor fuels by introducing the fuel gradually rather than premixed.

 

Hmmm, almost! You are right in that he wasn't concerned with sparkless ignition (that was akroyd stewart) rather, pure adiabatic compression as you have said was desired to create a constant pressure vs a constant volume in the cylinder, and furthermore using vegetable oil or pulverised coal dust.

It was the expansion under constant pressure that he was looking at, to reduce shock loads. Though he considered coal dust and some sort of lock hopper I didn't think he used it, opting for peanut oil instead. I think Sulzer went into production for him first.

 

He was using an aerosol ( compressed air) to inject it and this robbed some of the volumetric efficiency. I imagine this was because high pressure liquid pumps were hard to make and maintain. Again this problem of injection into a high pressure was one reason for the use of semi diesels, particularly in boats.

 

Internal Fire museum in Wales is the place to look at some of these early designs and Paul can talk one through all the developments.
