Stihl trouble

[drz1050]

The ethanol gasoline is garbage.

This is especially true on small engines/ small carbs... try to find an ethanol free gas station near you and fill up a couple jugs.

If you were running them at 30:1 and they were fine, go back to that.

Echo recommends 50:1 right now for their saws too... mine runs better with a little more oil in the mix.

Yeah - that would be a great idea:

Point being - any saw brand can have an issue. It doesn't make the brand "garbage".

Sorry..... My Stihl is garbage.

Sorry..... My Stihl is garbage.

Which model?

If you wonder where the posts went, it wasn't him it was me.

Maybe this thread's gotten about as far along the "useful" trail as it's gonna get. Talk chainsaws, talk fuel, talk whatever...but don't make it personal. That's just rude and dumb. Rick
