Right!
Its time to kick the tire and light the fire!
I have not taken it past about 8000 RPM yet, It has done a total of 60 seconds of idling and short blips in the garage, and tomorrow it will get a 42" bar bolted on to it and sunk up to its nuts in 4' thick hardwood.
I cant go easy on it....... it will expect it all the time![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
Treat em mean to keep em keen![headbang :headbang: :headbang:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have also switched from Caltex 98 to BP Ultimate 98. I know lower octane fuel can make more power but I will be cutting in 33*C heat (about 92*F) so I like to use 98 to keep the heat down, and I just find it works better than the 91 here in Aus.
The caltex fuel left a nasty black goop in my saws no matter what oil I used. It was worse with the premium Stihl oil which cheeses me off considering what it costs.
I am also trialing moving from 40:1 to a 32:1 mix, and giving Penrite MC2ST Fully Synthetic oil a go.
Fingers crossed it survives..... I am sure it will!
