    Stihl FS 56RC

    I would take it back in for them to look at. I bought this exact trimmer last august, and it still fires right up on the 2nd crank, every single time.

    Canned pre-blended 2 cycle fuel in a Stihl BG86

    Perfectly Ok. The manual to my stihl trimmer says to use "at least" 89 octane. I dont think they would make their own premixed fuel, Motomix, 92 octane if it wasnt ok. Husqvarna premixed fuel is even 95 octane.

    New snow blower break in

    Well, you're right, I cant prove it. But the bottle of oil that came with my new craftsman mower had a warning on saying something like "Do not use as regular motor oil." I cant think of any other reason why it would have a warning like that on it.

    Which battery should I get?

    i believe the 18 dollar core charge is added on to the 121.99, so it would be 99.99. still, a good deal a trick i learned about advance auto; you can get pretty much anything in their store 20% off, if you purchase it online and use promo code "P20" then pick it up in the store.. Just did that...

    Stihl BG86 hand held blower review

    Thank you for the review. I recently purchased a Husqvarna 125BVX from lowes for $200. Within a couple weeks it started dying when i went to give it full throttle. I was able to exchange it, and am still within the 30 day return period on my 2nd blower. If this blower starts doing the same...
