The harmful contents of petrol is why some new saws are being made with catalytic converters fitted, same as cars. I personally chose to have my new saw set up on Aspen before collecting and my Dad saw is using it from new.As after I get through all the trees on my and my parents land, it will be used mainly for firewood and stood idle for long periods. The main reason for me is it's stability over time and not damaging the rubber internals. The lack of any visible smoke or smell is a bonus. Figgy

Spill the beans then what make of fuel, and save us all a few quid. I've had a look online and Aspen is all that comes up other than Coleman stove fuel. Figgy

Genetsteve These sound great do they still have them and which store? Don't mind bigger ones hate to tight when getting sweaty. Figgy

Hope you can help me. Being a large fella I need some chainsaw trousers in a 46" waist with large legs as in big thighs and arse and im 6'3" tall. Don't want to break the bank, they will be used for firewood logging. I've got some husqvarna zip up back of leg tregings type but the legs are to tight to zip up, a total pain to work in as I used cable ties to keep the back of legs together Looked online and Clark Forrest are advertising some big sizes but links on page not working. Thanks for any help. Figgy

Stihl and Husky bashing will commence, pop corn ready. Husky 550xp seem to get better reveiws on here than the troublesome 261 stihl. Figgy

Don't think they are as well marketed over here is all that's stopping them. My dad got a cs 420 on 15"bar cracking light little saw,going to get a good workout this weekend with my 365xt. Figgy

With it being a carbide chain I thought it would only need honing,didn't think it would get mullered like a standard steel chain. Figgy

If you can get a diamond file the right size sharpening shouldn't be a problem. Read a post not long ago about round diamond stones for handheld electric chain sharpener. Figgy

They still use theese nut runner tools on the railways, one side has a flat to go on floor. Figgy

Could you not change the power head to a husky or stihl. Figgy

Pulled like crazy and cut so fast, shame I couldn't keep it like that. Figgy

I had this on a chain I sharpened myself, but only for a few cuts till it blunted a bit. It was taking shavings out like you would expect off a plane just narrow in width. I thought it was the angle I had sharpened the cutter, a little to deep so the tooth was pulling its self into the wood and shaving instead of taking a chip out. Figgy

It's for a family member, I use a husky 365xt after advice off the lads on this forum. The reason for a 40cc saw is weight and price over say a husky 550xp. Figgy

Looking for the best price for the cs420es. Seen the abbey garden sales price, any of the knowledgable arbtalk folk know of a better deal. Looking for a good lightweight cheap general use home saw. Figgy

If your keen to try husky a 365xt or 372xp are good as was recommended to me on here. Figgy
