case mx270

I ve seen guys on here saying they would rather buy a used Stihl or husky than a new saw from the lesser known make ,I find it hard to believe is better to buy a used saw which you have no history of than a new saw which you ve looked after from day one.

I use a 2 stroke oil that meets or exceeds the spec in my chainsaw manual so hopefully can't go far wrong

Trouble is the wet makes farming operations more difficult so food prices tend to rise!

Well said working on farm it is very difficult with continuous heavy rainfall doesn't make me feel like getting up in the mornings when its dark and wet

What's happened to the cold weather we were told was coming, I am so fed up of this heavy rain

The guys that do log sales for a living are saying there is very little hardwood about why this ?

Thanks for replies guys

Are you mixing at 50 parts to 1, i.e. 20mls to a litre, or 50mls to a litre which would actually be 20 parts to one.

 

Forgive me if you think i'm making you out to be a thicko, i'm not, but it's not an uncommon fault for those who don't work with this stuff on a very regular basis, and the symptoms are classic.

Hi I have a one shot container which I ve saved and when mixing I refill that with two stroke to a five litre of petrol .I ve never had any problems with any other saws I use with the Stihl 290 at work or my Makita at home.

A neighbour has just given me one of these currently it won't start but I have seen him using it awhile back what should I look for also the primer bulb has smashed any ideas where I can get a replacement ? Many thanks.

Thanks I ll have another play

50 : 1 is right as long as you are using a top quality oil . Don,t use the cheap garden center stuff . . Sounds like something else though . Where is the smoke coming from ? Exhaust or clutch ?

Exhaust the mix had a witham two stroke oil in it

What oil are you using?

Its a oil we use in our Stihl at work I think its made by witham but I put some mix in that I use in my makita saw at home which is ryobi branded and it ran better so not sure whether its the oil

Hi a quick question are McCullochs particular about their two stroke mix I put 50/1 mix in and it smokes and lacks power. Or could it be something else. Cheers

Thanks for replies
