Just fine, as long as it doesn't have any ethanol.

Where do you get "100ll" fuel?
Highest my local gas stations carry is 91 octane...

Find your local fuel distributor and they should have it. Or a small airport. In Mississippi, Scott Petroleum can get it.
I saw that and JetA at their bulk plant about 45 miles from Jackson. They deliver to small airports

Son inlaw picked up these today for me for $15, will check them over this weekend. Both seem to have good compression.

114 is a nice saw. I have 3 or 4 my self and they are great firewood saws.

You beat me too that one! Honestly it's probably a good thing as time is so limited since I went off to school, I don't get a lot of stuff fixed. Or at least not quickly that is.

I have one of those little screamers. I put a 12" bar on it, its just such a great little lightweight saw that's great for cutting bushes out and overgrowth.Son inlaw picked up these today for me for $15, will check them over this weekend. Both seem to have good compression.

All I had to do to mine was the fuel line and carb clean.

Sold the SP81 yesterday to a guy who had bought my 880. Of course the saw got finicky when he came to get it. But a little retune and we were screaming though a round, my ears are still buzzing lol.
Both of these look to have everything original, one has the banana bar, other does not. Drive sprocket looks great on them too. Looks like someone was using burnt oil for chain lube, someone has installed new fuel line also.

Well I've been hitting the saws pretty hard lately. Got quite a bit further on several of them, but need to figure out parts before they will run... Great news is that I 'think' I finally solved my ms361 no run issue. Pressure/vac tested fine, and the carb can't be the issue anymore. Finally deduced that when I dogged it into wood the boot moved just a little bit against the carb that it induced a massive air leak.
Tossed a cork gasket on there this afternoon and it fired right up and ran like a dream. Will test more tomorrow and hopefully it will still work well. Kinda needs to as I will be looking at a tree job to do as well and I need that saw to work. Those creamsicles can't just be collecting dust on the shelf!

Depending on how much of the fuel you use it may be more cost effective to order a drum of avgas in the flavor you prefer. Shipping isn’t actually bad if you aren’t in a hurry, just have it shipped to a local hub and pick it up yourself. Just remember that most avgas is still leaded. Not all of it, there are some non TEL varieties, but majority is leaded. Not going to hurt anything, but don’t put it in your car by accident.......
