According to the web, the easy way to remove ethanol from petrol is to add 10% water to the fuel then mix very thoroughly. The theory is that the ethanol is hygroscopic and absorbs the water. After leaving it to stand the Ethanol and water emulsion will settle to the bottom leaving the petrol to be poured off.Have I missed a comment about water ,,cant see it but it's the quickest way to destroy a saw or any type of engine
That could be the coil on its way out ,,take the plug out ,put the plug cap on and pull it over to see if theres a spark ,just hold it against the engine to get a contactDont surpose anyone could help with a problem with my stihl saw had it serviced as wasn't running properly just before coronavirus kicked in but had it out the last 2 days cutting wood and runs fine until you stop to refuel but then will not start again but then will if you leave it to rest for a hour.
Good thinkn never thought of that3 yr warranty,take it back
That s what il doGood thinkn never thought of that
This isn`t funny - someone could just take this as a serious suggestion, and I for one would not like to think it was me that made such a flippant comment.You have to leave it to stand/settle and then burn the top layer off with a little match.
no .not an aspen or motomix question.
does any one bother to remove ethanol from their petrol to run it in their saws and other small engines?
petrol contains bio fuel which the chainsaw warriors in the us claim rots their fuel lines and carbs thus they use ethanol free fuel or remove it from the e10 petrol which is the same as what we use.just wondered if there are hard core users that do it, this side of the pond
The lines that have needed replacement here have dissolved and gone mushy. Never seen it before
Main problem with autotunes is the less they are used ,the more chance of them going wrong and now that's the only thing on the market for a big saws ,the 50-75cc range are all auto , both husky and stihl have stopped making the big models because of EU emissions levels .You don't.
Just use normal petrol and stop worrying about it. Its fine. Using Aspen 'stabilises' the fuel, if you so wish to go down that route but unless your life is your saw, its not worth it IMO.
This is all that happens. The rubbers in the carb and hoses turn to gum... the carb stops working right and the hoses collapse under suction.
All you have to do, to save your carb and pipes is; Every time you finish using your saw (or any other 2-stroke engine), run it out of fuel. Empty the tank and lines by running it.
For what it's worth, the lines/hoses don't turn to gum that quick. You'll get 10+ years out of the rubbers if you ignore the running the lines dry...
Husky Autotunes are no better than any other saw, for dealing with this. And as many saw tech will tell you - Autotune is a f**King c**t when it goes wrong

Only have to look on ebay ,loads of husky 500 series saws ,all with problems and not just the mk1 models ,lots of mk2's aswell.
It was the worst move husky and stihl ever made ,,,If it's not bust ,dont fix it but they didnt get a choice .
get an echo then
still old school i think
What is a reasonable mid-size saw then that isn't husky or Stihl?? I've heard of Echo but are parts supplies easy to get?
For doing what, and how much usage?
