Use the stihl stuff at 50/1 everytime,& (as spud says) you will be fine,nice way to bed the saw in that lime job.

My bt service has been well shonky recently too,always been ok up till a month ago or so. Hope you get it sorted out soonest. -
If no joy,have a word with Spudulike on here,he may be able to help,or tell you the best aftermarket supliers. Good luck mate.

Just dont roar the hell out of it on a big takedown for the first few tanks IMO,others will say thrash it from the off,but it does no harm to give it a nice easy couple of tanks building it up to full chat a you go.

Looked well brittle,your 200t sounds well crisp,nice work.

The guy probably wanted to get it checked by the old bill,& new that saying it was deffo his would get a response out of them,rather than 'it could be mine'.

Sorry Felixthewhopper,no mor kisses then?

I never gave it to you Felix,I'm not that generous! I cancelled todays climb & had a load of pricing to get out the way,so it has been a constructive day.

I have work booked,2 euc dismantles,but I dont want to ruin the lawns beneath,& getting over man flue,not wanting a soaking,so I may put it off a day.

I always give an air cooled saw an easy time for the first couple of tank fills,turning them off every five minutes or so to cool down,as they free up over a few tank fills let them work harder. In my opinion an air cooled motor does want a bit of time to settle itself in,as the engine temperature is more variable than a liquid cooled (such as a modern enduro bike). The important bit is not to load the engine hard,& dont rev it flat out when not in the curf.

You could have a word with spudulike on this forum,he may well be able to look after your needs with a good second hand saw,as it is a minefield market going second hand,or have a chat with Jonsie (FR Jones) who advertises on here,good for a new saw at a good price. I would tread very carefully if you try & buy second hand from an unknown source,or even avoid it,but Spud is a good man,& knows his onions with restored saws.

Ahh bless...but she looks quite happy about her new circumstances!

:001_smile:I have done it by putting four washers under the pot.

Thats fun,I like the idea.

I have had my 05 one for about six years now,it has been abused to the extreme,brilliant off road if you are after getting 2 people & a bit of climbing kit to a job,great turning circle. The reliability & lack of rust are beyond top notch,it is not a motorway blaster,but will get you there...one day,top speed about 90mph,happy cruising speed about 65mph. Superb little car,mine is a keeper. Rant over!

That about sums it up in my experience,you can get away with old fuel up to a couple of months old in a modern 4stroke motor,in a high reving 2 stroke you realy need to give it good fresh fuel,or suffer the potential problems that we all know about. Get an old car or the like,& it will run on most anything,low compression engines designed for low/poor octane fuels,the old series ex military land rovers are a classic example,or go back a bit the fergie petrol parrafin tractors,get them warmed up on petrol & they will run on parrafin,a much thicker fuel. Modern high performance/low emission engines,with todays 'petrol' are going to be fussy about what you put in the tank.

Tough one Stephen,you did the best you could by the dog,sad times..
-
Cool bananas,good you got it sorted nice & easy. Modern petrol goes off after a couple of months,!8 just about guaranteed this to be the fault.
-
Good people.
-
Sounds like petrol gone sour,its the first & cheapest place to start.
-
The perp of that must be a nasty bit of work.

Stunning work,& lovely figure in that wood.
