Not trying to make you feel old but that's 10 years before I was born!:doh:
That plug looks pretty dry! Looks like it's been running hot and on a lean oil mix.
Square bodies now are blown up in price. Your paying a few grand premium on them.
If you can't fix anything and depending on your money I don't know if I would get into anything old and cheap especially a truck? But if you...
I noticed them not oiling the same in the early 00s.
I will echo what he said. I am a Forester and my main duty is timber sales. While not many saws are used these days, they still use them to trim...
I was watching Bucking Billy and he recently did a video on oils. He said years he ran Castrol. And was saying it was the Stihl oil I believe...I...

I do as well. Gets troublesome with all the different kinds of them and that I run many brands.

Yea the modern two stroke oil injected outboards run more like 80:1 or like you said 100:1 that's why many recommended even on the VRO mix pumps...
Don't think I would go to that extreme. Why? I only see that as a benefit if your these lawn care guys trying to save every penny to make the...
I knew it was in there. I remembered reading it for a saw my uncle either bought in the late 90s or on the saw I bought in 2004.
Yea that's [honey] locust. The wood, the bark flakey like that and the compound leaves.
Do you think there equally spaced? Ladder rungs for like a home made deer stand?
Yep Evinrude decades ago said to run all their engines at 50:1...but it was around the EPA times that recommendation came. When I premixed my fuel...
