I’ve got an old genuine 6v dynamo for a fergie somewhere, think its at my dads, in original grey clothing if i remember rightly!

There wont be a difference, was just suggesting it cos 881 is a stihl obviously and their alkylate fuel is motomix, they cant argue on a warranty claim regards wrong mix or anything if your buying from the horses mouth sort of thing. Depends how much you use your saws, Saul (Rough) buys the barrels in of motomix as it knocks the price down a fair bit apparently, and he’ll fairly spunk it with milling 6hrs+ a day i would imagine. Not trying to steer you away from aspen in any way paddy. Was just looking out for ya regards the warranty front. Shouldnt make any difference though really. [emoji106]

No not that i know of, was just looking at it from an easiest point of view, if ya know what i mean. If you have easier access to aspen rather than motomix and it works for ya then should be fine [emoji106]
-
It’ll av been fired up on motomix no doubt, stihl’s alkylate version, be practically same as aspen i expect. You not want to run it on motomix? No arguments regards warranty then what so ever.

And i think they are pre painted flue sections anyhow not painted stainless.
-
Thats a movement mark, the flue has come upwards, you could be leaking on that joint too.
-
I fuelled one up! [emoji6]

Alright kitchen-creme lovers, back on topic come on! I think otter may be on to something regards a painted stainless flue, the first joint up away from the stove looks scabby like it has paint loss? Do you know if it has been stainless painted or if they were black to start with?
-
It’ll be fine [emoji106]
-
You coupled to a flue liner or in to open chimney? How old is the house? Post a picture of your setup, someone may spot something.

Said i liked your dog, no mention of its owner 🤠

881 is basically unused till adding the motomix, the others were 018, 180 for a guy who uses very infrequently, both had full rebuilds, new oem pots/pistons and carbs, i just put it down to the fact that they are on a non fully adjustable carb and simply just dont like the alkylate fuel 🤷♂️ and the other a 024 woodboss which is very tidy and have kept for myself, this is on a fully adjustable carb obviously, my next step was to do as you have and put the carb through the ultrasonic bath. Not high on my list of priorities at the mo so will do it when i get a bit further on through my never ending list of tasks 🤠

Had a few smaller stihls wouldnt run on some motomix i have, put pump fuel in em and no probs [emoji848] filled the 881 up yesterday on same motomix and started and ran no issues, weird!

Got this fella on my dads hedge yesterday, had me spotted through window straight off when i stood up out of chair, all his birds in his avery were going batty. I thought it was a sparrowhawk but dad said it could of been a young peregrine as there’s a breeding pair in the quarry at work which is very close by.

Looks like simple freeze thaw weathering to me on the dpc joint, can’t see any vertical cracks in your pics which is what i’d expect to see with “movement” or “intrusion”
-
On a Aberlour 12 tonight, lovely! [emoji13]

Les has been filling her up again! (See the welly marks at the back of her!)
-
Mog next then! [emoji848][emoji6][emoji23] you’ll need deep pockets for that!

Sharp chain, let it do the work [emoji106]
