High temps effect on starting chainsaw??

[mendiplogs]

Yesterday all our machines had to have full throttle starts, chipper overheated 5 times, in the end the saws wouldn't restart, and no shade to put them in!

 

Hi EDDY sounds great just too hot to work EDDY IN full safety gear so down tools off to the ice cream van 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦thanks John 👍

So , just to be clear when you say " leaving the decomp in " you are using it ? ( as in is venting and out is sealing )

 

I assume he meant "leaving it out" (closed) = not using it?

Maybe our fuels mixed different at the refinary but I have no trouble srsrting my saws, strimmers etc up here in QLD mid summer

Thanks Barrie; looks like that's probably the answer to my question.

 

Do I take it also that you consider Aspen (shameless plug) less susceptible to temperature extremes?

Hi,

 

Many users have reported that Aspen2 works better in saws prone to hot restart problems.

 

I can only think this is because Aspen does not contain any solvents and so evaporates at a slower speed.

 

All I can suggest is to give it a try in your kit and see what you think.

Thanks for replying to Nepia's question Eddie, I missed reading the question about Aspen:001_rolleyes: (I must be slipping!!)

 

And I think you are right, Aspen's absence of aromatic hydrocarbons and ethanol (both volatile solvents) keep it a more stable product which maintains its vapour pressure across a wider temperature range making it far less susceptible to vaporisation and fuel lock than standard petrol.

 

The advantages of Aspen do, of course, come at a price, but a saw which wont start in the heat earns no money at all.

Thanks; the only pump fuel I use is in the chipper - all saws, hedgetrimmers, leaf blower have been on Aspen for about 3 years now.
