Switching to Aspen, just fill it up?

[Eastern]

Planning on using aspen in the 2 big saws that dont see as much use, also in my ms150 which only i use on lighter reductions (so not as often as the 200)

 

Sure i read people having issues switching back and forth between aspen and regular fuel?

 

Big saws are both older Stihls.

My Stihl HS45 Had some problems which were sorted. My FS90 ran pretty good straight away.

 

I would say just go for it and see. Worst case is you need to change the carb diaphragm.

The chances are that the switchover will be completely trouble free.

 

If you do have any issues they will be minor ones, so post them up here and help will be forthcoming.

It should be fine changing to Aspen.

You'll probably have a problem if you put 2 stroke back in.

 

I've always run big saws and hedge cutters on Aspen.

Don't use it in heavily sooted engines without cleaning the engine first - and remember to check the carb adjustment (as with any change of fuel).

Was actually thinking the same with regards to sticking it in the trimmers also, again, not an everyday tool for me.

Sorry, must point out i did see the "why i use aspen" thread but after seeing it was 75 odd pages long thought id just start another thread!

 

Will source a good deal on some and report back

I use it for everything, including milling with big old Stihls. They have all worked fine from the off - smoke a bit on changeover as everything burns off but after a tank or so they run clean with no exhaust smoke.

ive a friend whos changedto aspen in a old 026, he can get it started but wont run on tick over. Is it just the LA screw thats needs adjustment? Or the L screw as well?

Also on the saw it has a fuel tank white filter with a screw in the end thats done up tight. Is this right?? I know in the 260 etc its a black filter
