So I was looking at some axes on the internets...

Well my dealer is floggin the crap out of the fuel, all different sizes too.

Carbon fibre cord looks the goods [emoji106]

Find that hard to believe since it hasn't been released yet due to insurance and storage complications. They would only have it for trial purposes at this stage I would have thought. Rough pricing is 3.50-4.00 a litre I was told 12 months ago at our dealer conference

Should see if you can start up Ozito racing. A bit like HQ car racing. The poor mans sport. [emoji16][emoji12]

P.s welcome skip. Yup that can happen!! A saw for every day of the week and a back for each and you'll be rite [emoji13][emoji106]

Had the MS245 super ozito revving it's little ring out again yesterday.....it sounds fantastic!! I kid you not.
We're thinking of buying a few more of them and ripping out the motors and sticking them in an RC car chassis. We reckon we'd see close to 100mph.

Good call on the chain Vince....it does catch occasionally and that would help it out quite a bit.

Going to remove the spark arrestor this weekend....should be good for a 10% increase, around 0.0012 HP maybe. Not sure about drilling the muffler though cause we love the sound of it as is.

So true, I saw a QLD locomotive on a truck once down in NSW and the highway happened to be running next to a railway line. I thought how strange, fancy having different gauges in bordering states. Would be so much easier if the train could just run on the train tracks lol

Think it was the japs who said we will flog this country just based on our pathetic railway system? way back when they where all out cranky with the world (WW2)...
I don't know if it still goes on? not that long ago but I remember when trains from QLD got to the border of NSW, it was a day stop over as they used cranes to lift the big old diesel locomotives and carriages up to change out the axles to NSW gauge.....Can't say I've ever seen the XPT up this way bugger! haha.....I remember seeing the XPT in Tamworth when I was a kid and thinking how cool is that thing it's like a bullet! that there is the future! lol ....

G'day Folks,
Skip Sail here, thought i'd introduce myself.
relatively new to serious chainsaw operation, but by necessity on a very steep learning curve!
We live on 370 acres of Box/stringybark /redgum country at Fryers Forest,Fryerstown in Central Victoria
.........

G'day Skip and welcome to the site.

I haven't been here that long myself and what I know about chainsaws can be written on the back of a postage stamp for a local email. I have learnt that the sharper you keep your chain the more chance there is of it cutting your fingers when playing with it in the garage.

Sounds like an interesting set up with the living arrangements.....I know Fryers Forest, beautiful part of Vic for sure.

One thing you will notice here is that those that know own Stihls and those that think they know don't.

Enjoy

Benne

Vince says he thinks the new Stihl fuel 2t mix isn't petrolium based and is the ducks nuts..

So I am thinking to myself, what can it be made of to produce something that isn't ethanol based which doesn't store well for long periods as it absorbs all the moisture out of the air around it and is typically of lower octane......

So, question is, is it ethanol based with octane boosters or something completely different?

She's a bit top heavy. I like

 

[bennn*e]

Completely synthetic with HP ultra oil is all I've got. It hardly smells like anything if you take a wif of it very low aromatic, container hardly swells up if left out side and smells different to anything I've used when ran
