Yeah, I can't speak to the BR800 issues, but I'm telling you my KM131 purrs. And it's easier to start dead cold than 2-cycle engines imo. And they're relatively quiet. That said, I understand why people don't like them with occasional valve adjustments. I can only speak to my experience, and...

Milwaukee claims a lot of things.

Yeah I saw that. Most of the video detailed wet clutch oil requirements though. That's fine, but it's not something in which I'm interested. Thanks for the link!

I've watched several of his videos. Pretty informative, generally. I wish he'd do a series on how 2-stroke oils are tested.

Hello OPE, I'm looking for the MS 194t, MS 201T C-M and MS 261 C-M shop manuals if anyone has them. Thanks!

I use the AutoCut 26-2 on my FS 131. It's super easy to string. Works great.

Interesting, I didn't realize that about the 5810. Recently, I considered the 5810 and BR 800. But after considerable reading and youtube vids I settled on the PB5910. It has similar displacement to the BR 800, but it's quite a bit stouter. Maybe higher 2t rpm's is important for blowers...

Yeah, I'm not sure 4-mix and chainsaws are a good match. As for the pole saw, you lose power through that long drive shaft, so no way it will keep up with a 200t. I still love the versatility of my Kombi though.

I can attest to the lower fuel consumption, lower noise and torque. Lower vibration, maybe. I love my KM131 with the pole saw and hedger attachments. I just bought the paddle wheels for snow removal. Works well, but I'm going to fabricobble some wheels for it.

Eh, I've got Stihl trimmers. No problem whatsoever with them.
