Lets talk Chainsaws

[doc holiday13]

No idea what a bottle of 50:1 is.

When we were burning a lot of saw gas, it made sense to mix up a can. But even running non ethanol we would have issues with saws sitting. Buying the cans of premix cut out a lot of those issues.

Now that my saws sit a lot. I will happily spend the stupid tax on a couple cans of premixed gas and enjoy saws that just work when I need them to.

50:1 mix... Its the oil you add to gasoline for a 2 stroke motor....... Are you telling me that you never put oil mix in your chainsaw gas if you happen to buy it from the fuel station??

I mix my chainsaw gas, but I use AMSOIL Interceptor Synthetic 2 Cycle

Problem with that. Is the saws like the 044's, least around here have sorta a cult like following, not that it isnt deserved. Still $800ish on average for a 25+ year old saw is tough to swallow.

For sure. You can find one in my area on marketplace fairly often for $500. You have to move fast on them though.
