If you don't got none just say so, right ?

I used to help a mate who did tv aerials and it was always the older customers (of which I am now one :D) who had the money out when you got there and tea and biscuits ready to hand. He fitted an aerial system to a local moguls house, he had his own landing strip and Cessna plane and had to be taken to court to get enough money to cover what it cost to do the job. You do get a feel for the lie of the land eventually so get to trust some people.

I bought some 18650 batteries for a torch, they are the cells inside drill batteries and some of the Chinese ones claim high mAh figures like 9000 but they are nothing like in reality seldom going over 3500mAh. Take the figures on replacements with a pinch of salt. The batteries still charge and light my torch and were half the price of Samsung ones so I don't mind so much.

AT adjusts for the ambient air temperature flowing through the carb not the saw temperature. Different fuel types are alkylate or pump fuel for saws. I use Aspen2 in my saws even the ones that say 25:1 mix and have no problems. Carry on Echo I'm sure you'll find a saw that suits you one day from a dealer who really cares about you I'll come back and have a look in a few weeks, good luck with your quest.

How will autotune compensate for a bad fuel mix ? It will only cope with conditions like filter blocking or damp, hot and cold temps and your altitude change.
-
I would not err on the safe side if it caused me as much angst as it is obviously causing you. To run an emission test yearly for saws would mean they have to be registered and regulated like vehicles setting up a government body to do it and testing stations and relying on users being conscientious enough to bother following the rules, I can't see where the money would be in that. Just buy a saw and use it, once it is run in with a few tanks of fuel through it then worry about it.

Volkswagen seemed to know a few workarounds The rules for chainsaws are for manufacturers, we can take them to bits and do whatever we like to them, they don't go in for a yearly MOT or whatever your equivalent is in Eire so how will they find out ? Do the Garda know what model saw you are using and that it should have a cat in the exhaust and do they have any test equipment to test your emissions ?
-
There is no law saying chainsaws have to have a cat fitted or that it is illegal to remove it, unless you are in California I would stop worrying, buy a spare exhaust and get it decatted then if it fails put your original back on and send it back. Stop procrastinating or you will never buy a saw.
-
Has it got piston rings in it ?
-
That's the opposite of what CATs do, they get hot to burn the stuff that usually gets thrown out into atmosphere. The problem was with the heat melting the brake lever due to bad design on some saws. Are you just a natural pessimist or have you really had so much trouble with different makes that you can't make a decision which to buy ? Your Echo with altitude problems had me laughing out loud it would have to be retuned if you went up a hill round here or climbed a tall tree

Sugihara and Tsumura are a bit out of my league for back yard firewood cutting. I bought a 20" Wartec with two chains for my 044 and I hit some metal damaging a couple of teeth on a chain and caused a tight spot in the bar. A bit of prising with a flat screwdriver and some work with a riffler file soon had it freed up and back in action.

Drain the fuel by emptying the tank and running the saw till it stops if you are leaving it for any length of time and you will not have to do it again hopefully.
-
Clean the aluminium transfer off it with some acid before you say it's rough, that should clean up a lot better with some 240 and light oil after the transfer is dissolved.

I thought there was only the one Stubby, are the others in alternate realities ?
-
I thought it would depend on how heavy it's being leaned on, unless the electronics are somehow governing the revs
-
Where from.? That's cheaper than a 135
-
About £100 I bet. It will be going to Dyson probably.
-
I think it's tosh as well if it's any consolation
-
I read somewhere it's best to keep 6 saws in case 5 break down, sounds reasonable to me.
-
So you can look at the battery as a very expensive fuel can that takes a long time to fill with fuel which is cheap but not available everywhere. Depending on the charger it can take between 45 minutes and 3 hours to charge to 100% so you need the AL300 charger at £60 as well so for 2 batteries and a charger you are in for about £300 plus the saw which is "equivalent to a 30cc saw" it's not sounding very tempting yet.
-
How does this saw try to find lost power does it have artificial intelligence ? I've upped the oil in saws to first run them after repair and all I find is they smoke and blow some oil out of the exhaust and sometimes oil the plug up.
-
So you could be looking at chainsaws with pedal assist Brilliant idea. When battery prices come down and technology gets good enough they will be a better proposition, storage needs to go up and charging times need to come down before they can replace just slopping another pint of fuel in and away you go again. I know the price of fuel is high compared to electricity to charge a battery but you don't need to buy £120 of fuel at one go and it's there straight away not in 30 or 40 minutes or whatever time an AP200 takes to charge.

I think he has Parkinsons not dementia.

He believed in it enough to say he was leaving the country if Labour got in He's a Scot same as Rod Stewart really though, he lives in Florida now doesn't he ?

You'd not need much ammo
