One thing worth mentioning is strato port cylinder designs. If you are operating a standard 2 cycle engine, the entire fuel / oil mix hits the crankcase first, then up the transfer ports. When manufactures switched to strato port design, 20% less of fuel / oil mix gets into the crankcase...

I was thinking the same unfortunately.

I need to cut down and process 3 dead ash trees which I was planning to do soon. Unfortunately the power company contracted out a company that just sprayed the vegitation around these trees with a commercial weed killer. I can only imagine it is glyphosate based. It was in a white 2.5 gallon...

The white and orange at least burn semi clean in true 2 stroke engines. Ultra, is a soot / carbon bomb. I am disgraced stihl markets such poor oils.

White and orange bottle, is fine. Silver bottle "Stihl Ultra" is garbage. Its JASO FB rated from the 1980's, smells terrible, leaves lots of carbon, and most importantly does not lube the bottom end much. Its here in the USA for their 4 Mix engines.

I do not have equipment to measure squish. I may do the solder trick and let the piston pinch it just to see. I know this next statement will not answer your question but Farmertec had some really crappy ports / squish specs on their cylinders when they first came out with clone saws. Kind of...

Its not my deal, its a friends and his family. My mission is to see if there is a different course of action so that they can sucessfully close. The house was a great deal, properly advertised "as is" and with open arms they want to pay the money for the repairs but legally cant. They were...

I want to make it more clear, my friend knew the panel was a problem, and WANTS to replace it like yesterday, but cannot until the house closes. The seller did not want to use a real estate agent as they wanted to auction the contents first, (which they did) and then auction the house and...

A friend is stuck in a loop on this. Not sure why there was never a forced recall but these panels are unacceptable, and insurance companies make so sense with their rules. Here is the deal, house was an as-is / where is sale. The house needs nothing major and it is move in ready, and just...

I cannot find any flagship phones with removable storage. I also do not wish to use cloud storage when I have a very large storage server at home. Is there a good way to backup my phone photos to a windows file share folder? Its windows server 2022.

Why such a long interval? Hemi's are known for cam / lifter failures.....

So circling back around to the Holzfforma G395XP with 2025 production date, I am very impressed with the overall build quality observed from deep inside. I'm currently running Citgo E0, 90 Octane fuel with a 40:1 mix ratio of Echo Red Armor. The bottom end has really thick film throughout...

First Start. I did inject some oil down the carb throat and in the cylinder before the camera. Skip to 1:00:

Added some inside photos. I always tear down my new saws for inspection out of habit, as it only takes 10 min on a 300 series saw and maybe 15 or 20 to re assemble.
