Very good Idea! If you have a old carb, put new membranes in it and give it a kiss before mounting. Does wonders with a bit love!

Not bad saws conciddering the price. Tanaka's best products are Blowers, Pole saws and hedgers IMO.

I have a breaker and spinner and fix chains for harvestors and wood prossessors from time to time. I fail to see why these are weaker than a factory made rivet unless the tools are badly worn or the guy is no good at it and careful. Ball point hammer and tiny strokes makes very good resoults and are better than spinner if you are used to do this, but it is way more time consuming. If it is .404 or bigger I grind the head down before I punch it out or press in the tool. The 1/4 chain I alway's do by hand as I have no tool for the press, but .325 and 3/8 I just press out.

You need a roll of chain and rivets. I prefer preset tiestraps, but cutters is also availeble.. You don't need breaker and spinner for hundreds of money... A rivet is strongest if it is taken out with a tiny ball hammer or bowl chaped plunge. (Not sure of the Eng words here.) Rivet spinner does a good enugh job and is faster, but if it cost effichiant I don't know... It is induvidual.

i think this is about the same cost as gas mix if not a tiny bit cheeper just regarding consumtion and purchase. If then life of saw, wear, parts etc comes in equation, Alkylate will be cheeper for sure. Be careful when shifting between fuels. Chances are Alkylate fuel will clean out all stuff not seposed to be there and this can bring some troubble. Run new saws on this, i doubt you will be dissapointed. Best is to run same fuel in the saws from start to scrap pile. Converting alway's bring a risk.

Aspen is a Alkylate fuel. Not agressive as regular gasoline. It is a better fuel, and sold by others than Aspen too so yould be able to find it easyer and cheeper perhaps. Just don't put it in saws you run on regular oil/gas mix. It will clean the systems out and If you have a carbon build up, Alkylate fuel bill burn it up. If you have a stroke of bad luck it will get skoring from the leftovers if they can't get out. If you plan on changing fuels, take the hat of and clean good. Here is a test I made to show William Greene when he and Forrest was viseting me. http://s116.photobucket.com/albums/o8/WILLIAMFGREENE/?action=view¤t=swedentrip2007077.flv
