Time to start bringing your own

[Andymacp]

Think it might be the way forward. Supply my own fuel oil.

Or time for him to start buying the saws if he wants to use that in them

Japanese standard gives it an FB which means it's about average.

 

But to be fair I think Stihl 2-stroke is the same so probably fine for something as undemanding as a chainsaw.

Not sure I get that - I don't think any other petrol powered garden kit revs as nearly as hard as a chainsaw - most kit is 3-4,000 lower!

"Undemanding" in 2-stroke terms.

"Undemanding" in 2-stroke terms.

 

I think Pro used chainsaws are some of the hardest working and Highly stressed 2-stroke engines there are!

 

That's why some 2-stroke oils are designed for and around chainsaws.

 

Kind regards

Hardest working definitely, would be quite difficult to think of any more truly productive use of small two stroke engines. Against that, two stroke oil has the advantage of only having to do it's job once whereas a 4-stroke engine oil or gear oil for example has to stay there and work over and over again. So longevity is something that the two stroke oil formulator doesn't have to worry about.

 

But highly stressed, sorry not even close. Also proven by the standards of the oil sold for them.

 

Not having a go at Aspen or it's products by the way as it's actually the sort of thing I'd love to be selling.
