I had to switch to "Safe Search" when trying to find that Monty Python gif......
I think that it was the term "gay logger" and "Python" that got it way off the mark.....

I think some of those are antiquated at this point.

E.g. Z - spark arresting muffler, unless that means CAT mufflers.

No, still used.

 

[Sam R]

Oh yeah, good point.... They literally ALL have that now though, I've noticed when you run serial numbers in SSO.

 

[Sam R]

Maybe that's to differentiate other countries that don't require spark arresters.

Here is a random piece of Stihl info for y’all - Stihl recently released a new improved fuel filter on the thought that M-tronic doesn’t get along well with gasoline that isn’t 100.0% perfectly clean and pure.

The new ones have a bit of orange plastic included, so you can tell the difference.
