  1. Looking to buy 2 stroke in bulk ready for my grass cutting season suggestions please

     

    Sent from my EVA-L09 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Hi all,

     

    Contact your local Aspen dealer for the new much lower bulk order discounts.

     

    Free delivery if you buy 2x 200 litre drum or 54x 5 litre cans.

     

    All the best

  2. Hello all,

     

    I have heard reports from garden machinery dealers all over the country that fuel is causing many more problems and costing the machine owners more to repair than ever before.

     

    Newer machines from all manufactures seem to be less tolerant and suffer more problems.

     

    The thing I have found since starting working for Aspen 4 years ago after my 20 years in the garden machinery trade is that there so many benefits from switching fuels.

     

    Not just the cost saving if machinery has become unreliable but the reduced fumes and overall better experience for everyone.

     

    By cost please don't just factor in the repair bill but the

    Time to get the saw repaired

    Travel to and from the dealer

    Lost income

    Extra mileage for the above etc

     

    The true cost of a peace of kit not working on a job.

     

    For you guys as pro users I would think the fumes from the exhaust and from fuel itself would be the main reasons to switch.

     

    I have noticed a big change in environmental and health & safety attitudes from users and employers and Aspen scores miles better than normal petrol for both of these.

     

    You will see from our dealer map we have added many new aspen stockists over the last year with more being added all the time. Over 300 listed dealers and many "Aspen Service Centres" who use aspen in all small engine servicing.

     

    We are always happy to answer your questions so please check out the aspen fuel website or give me a call 07568108953 or email [email protected]

     

    Thank you to everyone who uses and promotes Aspen!

  3. Hi all,

     

    I have a letter signed from Stihl that

    "aspen does not affect warranty on Stihl products"

    I hope this puts your minds at rest regarding warranty on Stihl when using aspen fuel.

     

    If you would like a copy of the letter please contact me

    [email protected]

     

    and I will be happy to send it to you.

     

    I believe Aspen has 80% of the German market for Alkylate fuels and in Sweden they consumed 13 million litres of aspen so I can't see how Stihl could say aspen will affect warranty in a negative way.

     

    But they are always going to push their own products.

     

    Any questions regarding aspen please contact us though our website or phone me direct 0756810895.

     

    Kind regards

  4. my honda (not the same model tho.)used to do that and there was a spring loose or missing underneath by the back wheels, sorry bit vague as it was a few years back, but could be worth a look as its an annoying fault!

    Hi,

     

    I used to repair a lot of these when I was in the workshop.

     

    I would check the drive cable is in good order and allows the free movement of the inner cable. Check the arm on the gearbox is not cracked or jammed and the spring in fitted correctly.

     

    If all the above is ok the solution is new dog and gear in the gearbox which will require a full strip down and end up being quite expensive.

     

    These mowers are very good quality and the engines are amazing so might be worth doing the overall condition of the machine is good.

  5. Mine was still under warranty , Dealer tried all the Husky " Fixes " , Husky still stick to there guns that the saws are being flooded by incorrect starting procedure when they will not Hot start . These saws are running hot and lean when you switch off the heat sink is very high . I made adjustments to the Autotune unit which cured the hot start issues , i would not go down this road until you have tried the dealers first due to the fact your saw is not very old , get any updated parts / software done under warranty first .

    Aspen may help a bit as it will not evaporate as quick as pump fuel ,

    Hi NJM,

     

    We have had a lot of reports Aspen does help with hot restarting on some machines but if there is a fault that will need sorting and I second your recommendations!

     

    If I can be of any help please contact me direct 07568108953

     

    All the best

  6. The only reason I mix Red line with Aspen 4 is I had quite a large quantity of RL oil left over at the time I changed to Aspen . Seemed a shame to waste it .

    I see,

     

    Makes sense now!

     

    No need to waste 2Stroke oil if you have it already. Anything that mixes with normal petrol will mix with Aspen4.

  8. Hi Guys , i now have a used 385 xp and use Aspen on my 3 saws,61(266XP top end) 372 xp and the 385 xp , looking at some forums i seen some folk use 40:1 or 32:1 even on big saws , is this old school way or is the modern synthetic oils or Aspen 2 fine with the 385 at 50:1?

    i used to use husky xp oil at 50:1 but changed to Aspen which i like , i can obviously work out how much extra XP oil will be used to make it 40:1 , but is it worth it , any input will be appreciated .:thumbup1:

    Hi,

     

    Aspen2 is 100% find for your Husqvarna.

     

    It what they use and all the rep's have Aspen2 in the demo kit!

     

    I still don't get why people spend more and buy 2stroke oil to mix with Aspen4 as the price difference is so little it can't be worth the trouble??

     

    Aspen2 has been developed and tested in Husqvarna, Stihl and many other brands to offer the best around performance and benefits for you and the engine.

    Hi,

     

    It just shows if you guys ask the dealer it does help me get them to stock Aspen.

     

    I do still get dealers who say that because one is asking for Aspen they won't stock it!

     

    We have seen a massive shift in dealers thoughts on Aspen and as you will see more dots on our dealer map each month!

     

    Thanks again and if anyone wants their local shop to sell Aspen please ask them and tell me who they are so I can follow it up.

  12. Hi EDDY will we show you at the shows this year mate thanks Jon

    Hi Jon,

     

    I will only be at main Arb shows this year as we now have so many dealers.

     

    We want to offer the dealers more support so they can pass their knowledge and Aspen facts on to the end user.

     

    Everyone can still contact me direct by phone 07568108953 or email Email [email protected]

  13. Hello all,

     

    Please keep checking our dealer map as we are adding more dealers all the time.

     

    Many dealers are coming to us as they want to stock Aspen as they are seeing so many fuel problems.

     

    More and more pro users are finding where Aspen can benefit their business and how they can work Aspen into the costs of running their companies.

     

    If you have any questions please contact us though our website or by phone.

    Thank you for your support.

  14. Sorry storing

    Hi PC,

     

    Just google "how much fuel can I store at work" this will take you to the HSE website page.

     

    You can have the fuel delivered direct to you so you don't have to collect it.

     

    Might work out cheaper to by 270 litres in 5 litre can than 200 litres in a drum because if shipping costs.

     

    Your local Aspen dealer will give you a quote.

     

    Any problems get back to me
