I've seen many of these wonder oils over the years. You really think some guy in his garage stumbled onto something big the oil companies don't know about?

I would wager the property takes rates in the great lakes states are all higher than MT.

I'll diverge with you a bit in regards to battery OPE. It serves a place for the people that rarely use they stuff and can't take care of a gas tool. And there are many like this.

Curious why you would say that in regards to strato engines. Strato charged engines produce more torque than their traditional ported cousins due to better cylinder scavenging. Also wouldn't a wider bore provide for more port area?

They will do it when they have to. Saws are a small part of their business so it's likely they won't have to for some time given the emmisions credit scheme. Their niche is high quality, simple, older technology saws at a cheap price.

As far as the comments worrying about sawe going 100% electric. The tech just isn't there yet. Same situation in the automotive world.

As for the comments on electronics. Honestly ai think they have the potential to be a good thing as it pertains to working on your own stuff. It woukd be nice if the OPE OEM's adopted a single system like the auto OEM's did with OBD2.

Most of the world doesn't run long bars on 60cc saws. To be honest I never understood why long bars and wrap handle bars were a thing until I moved west. Our wood is extremely soft and the terrain is such that longer bars and wrap handles are a benefit in many cases.

Exactly. But not close in reality.

Probably not, but if the buyer were paranoid like some of you they certainly could.

FWIW I always have bought the united canned fuel sold.for four strokes. Canned fuel.has. averybdiatinct smell so its easy to tell if someone substituted something else in place of it.

Gallons of canned fuel are sold by most companies. I've bought several.brands and it's always in the gallon size.

You can't have gas fumes venting inside a store.

I can't believe the guys obsessing on the price of a item that costs a $1000 give or take. A smart phone costs as much. A snowmobile may cost as much as 24x more. Buy a 3/4 ton diesel new like many guys have and your going to have 70k into it min. Saws just aren't that expensive as a hobby and...

Rotating assembly weight doesn't affect torque directly but can and does make the engine behave differently. Lighter rotating assemblies actually increased both HP and Torque.
