Chainsaw Repair

First the non alcohol 90 octane around here is vary inconsistent and burns dirty and $4.09 a gal.
after reading in many post all over the net of people using 100LL I thought I would look into it. I found it at my local small airport at only $4.35 a gal. not much over the pump non alcohol. so i got a few gallons and started using it in my echo lawn equipment mixed with klotz supertech at 36:1

my main test subject was my echo PB-200 blower it was just disassembled and cleaned of all carbon removed base gasket which basically ported the transfers and reduced the squish to .023 only other mod was muffler to breath better

Finding are first everything runs better

after a gallon threw the blower run wide open for about 20mins at a time on jobs everything is still vary clean piston  crown is nice and clean plug is clean only light brown to gray exhaust port is clean as well. so far a winner to me

other pluses to the 100ll is will last at least a year or more with out going bad wont varnish carbs and is always consistent

Just thought I would share and would like tyo know if anyone else has tried it...

here is a link to current pricing and where you can find it in your area.... http://www.100ll.com/

most small ports the pump is self serve with a card... when asked to enter tail number i put in cash or airboat

Great thread, timing sucks for me, I just bought 55 gals of the 90 octane "recreational" fuel @ $4.75 a gallon. I was hoping for better shelf life and to get away from the "jello" the standard ethanol fuel leaves behind. I didnt buy it just for the saws, but mostly for the saws. I have a handful of other small engines that dont see allot of use. I still run pump gas in my riding mower, only because I move about 120 gallons through it each year, at the end of the year, I run some recreational fuel through it to store it.

Im going to have to check into pricing at my local airport. Its just up the road from me, and a 1/3rd the drive to buy the rec fuel !
