I have not had this with just Aspen i will ask the men from Sweden when I see them on wednesday. Just some quick questions. Are you using aspen2 or aspen4 with your own oil? What colour is this sticky residue? How old is the machine? Do you use aspen in 5 litre cans and pour from can to fuel tank or use another type fuel can? I sould have something for you on friday.

Great idea, Also keep asking dealers for aspen if they know there is demand there is more chance of they stocking it. Please keep me informed with all aspen feedback

Hi, Check the valves but I would think it has dropped a push rod from the information you have given. Or a valve is stick?

Hi I have spoken to Honey Bros and they are thinking about restocking with Aspen. I have changed the Listing on our dealer map to say "Phone to check stock" Please let me know if dealers we list on our map don't have stock so I can contact them. The more people ask for Aspen the more chance of dealers stocking it. Thanks and please keep me informed

I know what you mean hedgesparrow, In my travels i have been to dealers who still have Husqvarna Aspen cans on display! Dealers who don't have any posters up or who don't have Aspen tags on machines in the showroom. I agree if the customer sees Aspen information they will ask and the dealer has the chance to make exta sales. I sold Aspen for over 8 months from Carters of Swanwick and would always drop Aspen into conversation with any customer. In my pick up truck i have posters, display stands, tags and stickers for machines and A4 handouts. Each dealer i visit i make them aware of all this free promotional kit i have. I am working my way round the whole UK and things are changing!

Hi Andy, B&Q don't have sales people who would be able to explain Aspen to customers and as Aspen is not widely know in the uk I am not sure it would sell enough with just a few bullitt points on a card to explain it. In the future yes super store outlets could sell Aspen. What i am doing at the monment is having meetings with Honda, Briggs & Stratton and big importers to create understanding and get them behind the product. I am also driving around the UK meeting all our dealers in person. To make sure they understand Aspen and how to sell it. Also adding dealers to fill in gaps in our dealer coverage. All this will take time but very week I get very posative feedback and each month sign up new dealers.

Hi Eddy_t, When I visited Aspen in Sweden the set up is amazing, Massive storage tanks, blending plants and laboratories. Then we have the packaging plant and warehousing. They only make Aspen in sweden and distribute it all over europe. The investment is mind blowing! In the future if the UK market becomes large enough in may get shipped in tankers and bottled over here and so the price would come down, but this again is a massive investment. Again the catch 22 of we all want it cheaper but the UK market is not large enough to make it cheaper. You all want it cheaper to keep your costs down. I want it cheaper so Angol American Oil sells more.

Hi Andy, I have just checked and plastic milk bottles are the same plastic a Aspen 5 litre can's Still getting used to using this site!
-
Hi, Yes Aspen costs more but it costs more to make. Every litre of Aspen can be traced back to the blend it was made from in sweden. Every bottle of Aspen is the same. Not like pump fuel from the supermaket!! We are in the catch 22 of wanting the price to come down but not using enough in UK to make this happen. When I did my Aspen training we went to a machinery dealer in sweden and he has Aspen petrol pumps outside for his customers to fill up. I am checking up about can recycling and will let you all know the facts

I have some people who run Aspen in classic bikes, and use it as storage fuel for moden bikes. My Enfield (when it's back on the road) can't use pump fuel becase it will eat the fiberglass fuel tank. I have had two people tell the their tank blistered up and is now junk. KTM and Husqvarna 2strokes run fine on aspen 2 and some have had the same tank problems as above. Used Aspen 4 as storage fuel in my HD and took it out for a run the other day 100% fine so ideal as bike fuel.

Hi all Please understand I am new to the arb forum and posting replies etc. As regarding my "wild clams" I feel Gardenkit have covered it. I base all the information I give out on real reports from end users about long life of saws and the facts than less carbon build up and no ethanol or solvents mean less wear for all conponents. I have had 20 years working on all types of 2 and 4stroke garden machinery so i have seen the issues I have talked about. Somtimes typing replies is not the best way to explain things if anyone would like to know more please call me for chat on 0758108953 8.30am 5.30pm
