Chainsaw
Newbie and looking to buy a 50-60cc saw (no brand loyalty, just looking for the best banger for the buck).

[QUOTE="Gratewhitehuntr, post: 8091089, member: 192435"] Thoughts on fogging. For outboards I developed the strategy of running the kicker on a 6gal non-ethanol with some stabilizer and fancy oil. 2 stroke outboards guzzle fuel, divide the engine HP rating by 10, that is approx how many gallons of fuel they use per hour at WOT. But the kicker only takes a whiff of fumes, maybe a gallon all day, at just above idle. During the ride back in, I switch the big engine over to this small tank and spend 5 mins blasting the ethanol containing fuel out of the crankcase and carbs. Best of both worlds, minimal additional cost. For fogging a saw... meh... I run it dry then add a cap full of 2 stroke oil to the intake and pull it over until it hydrolocks WITHOUT breaking the rope. TCW-3 seems to burn off at a lower temp, I use any variety. Lately I've been experimenting with GDI intake cleaner in a spray can, and feel like it does a nice job softening carbon with the greatly extended soak time of (look around at the saw hoarders here, ask how often they run EVERY saw) while also re-starting with less herky jerky. Just my thoughts as a 2 stroke fan. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
