Ignition and detonation are mutually exclusive of each other. Ignition in an internal combustion engine is desireable as long as it is timed correctly. Detonation is never desirable, therefore it can't be premature. I don't know though, maybe you get backed up and call it pre-constipation. ;)

, premature? meh, they say the same thing about ejaculation, and I say it's always right on time.
 
we weighed them at the shop on our non-digital scale. Both showed 17#'s PHO full of fluids. The difference if any will be ounces.

OK Nik. Thanks. It's just I've been lookin at the weight thread and wandered what the 576AT came in out of the box. I know the regular 441 is 15.0 pounds.

we woulda took pics but since the scale only shows 1/2 lb. increments, we didn't think it would be precise enough for AS:msp_biggrin: Plus, we were in a rush to get to cutting.

110% understood my good man. Carry on :)
 
How does higher octane fuel give protection against a lean condition, assuming it's tuned properly for either fuel?

You've got it in a nutshell Brad. Higher octane fuel does not offer higher protection when everything is running fine and tuned properly. However a higher octane fuel does allow you to run leaner for longer before damage occurs, even if it is for only a minute or so.

Although not exactly the same it's why you can run higher octane fuel in some vehicles with knock sensors and gain power as the timing automatically advances itself to suit.
 
I've been eyeing this saw for months... I feel proud that I've resisted the urge to buy it so far... this thread isn't helping one bit.
 
This thread is not for imformational purposes, it is solely to premote STIHL sales only. You are required by AS law to purchase a 441 C-M or 441 R C-M after reading this thread.:msp_wink:
 
I don't think this thread will bring me to buy a 441. Hopefully it will raise 576 sales so they can speed up the boat that has the 562s on it.:laugh:
