That’s where the high cost can be of benefit by safely extending the drain service intervals because internal combustion does not take place there.

How are you doing? All the best this holiday season!

What octane value gasoline are you using? I know that can be different numbers in some countries but a higher octane would be more resistant to pre ignition. It seems the smaller cc engines have issue and not the larger in your situation.

Does MolaKule offer his custom made lube products yet? He had a transfer case fluid and even a gun oil at one time.

Depends where in Wisconsin. The state tax is 5%(started at 2%) and then counties can add an additional 0.5% and local municipalities can add even more. Milwaukee is at 7.9% now. The county around Okhkosh I believe is the only one right at 5%. At least you don‘t pay tax on shoes and clothing in MN!

I would not believe the heat switch would make a difference to the spark plug, it’s a separate system. I have the same issues with a 550xp, Ms460 arctic, and now Dolmar 7900H when it‘s cold. The Dolmar 6000i will start in 2-3 pulls at -8F however. I wish that saw had heated handles. Warming them...

Not anything less or more performance wise. I have noticed a quieter engine. I have not used greater than 20% as that‘s the most viscosity the lift pumps I have can handle. Fuel mileage increases slightly and the smell is pleasant like cooking something on the grill. Boy, if that was 2T oil the...

Wow, they‘re a younger company than I thought. We know how old that saw is anyway.

The tests I have seen found 2% biodiesel by far the best and cheapest diesel fuel lubricity enhancer. In this state they do not have to label biodiesel if it‘s less than 5% and that‘s probably what they are using. In the summer I use a station that lists 5 - 20% biodiesel blend in my older...

Oh my yes, do they oil like crazy!

The compression release is definitely a plus! The 680 doesn’t have one and that can be not nice to your shoulder. I bet this saw is a pleasure to run! GLWS!

No it doesn’t but says to use a good quality 2 stroke oil 1:33 to 1:25 if Husqvarna brand oil is not available. And do not mix more than 1 month’s supply of fuel.

This is from an operator’s manual for Husqvarna 61/268/272XP saws dated 3/1996.

Solo seems to be dabbling in the motor saw business yet but not in North America.

The key appears to be part of the flywheel like the 361. The stock base gasket looks to be 0.5mm or .020“.
