  1. Bear in mind I'm a beginner that only got saw for home use... I came to refill my Husq 455 rancher today for the first time, then couldn't get it going. I know the saw is 50:1 mix, but I'm wondering if I've put the correct fuel in and if it (strictly) matters if I don't get the mix exact. The fuel I used I got from b/q, namely for saw oil http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9219170&fh_location=//catalog01/en_GB/categories%3C{9372012}/categories%3C{9372021}/categories%3C{9372064}/categories%3C{9512016}/specificationsProductType=engine_oils and as a mixer b/q pro performance 2 stroke: http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9219171&fh_location=//catalog01/en_GB/categories%3C{9372012}/categories%3C{9372021}/categories%3C{9372064}/categories%3C{9512016}/specificationsProductType=engine_oils I think I added more 2 stroke than I should have. When the saw was refuelled, it initially started up then died 10 secs later; second try it started again, then same thing, and now it won't restart. This is most infuriating as I'm using the saw for badly needed firewood I have which needs chopped. Any advice? Or have I used the wrong oil? Or wrong ratios? Thanks
