Petrol Chainsaws FAQ's
What petrol is best for a 2-stroke chainsaw?
The best petrol for a 2-stroke chainsaw is a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke oil. It is recommended to use a high-quality, ethanol-free unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher. For the oil, choose a reputable 2-stroke oil specifically formulated for chainsaw use. The proper fuel-to-oil ratio varies depending on the chainsaw model and manufacturer's recommendations, typically ranging from 40:1 to 50:1. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the correct fuel mixture to ensure optimal performance, engine longevity, and reduced emissions.
Is it ok to leave petrol in a chainsaw?
The lifespan of a petrol chainsaw can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and the quality of the chainsaw. On average, a well-maintained petrol chainsaw can last between 10 to 15 years. However, this can vary based on factors like frequency of use, the intensity of cutting tasks, and adherence to maintenance practices. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, chain sharpening, and proper storage, can help prolong its lifespan. Following the manufacturer's guidelines and using high-quality fuel and oil can also contribute to optimal performance and durability.
Why is my petrol chainsaw smoking?
A petrol chainsaw may produce smoke due to various reasons. The most common causes of smoking are an incorrect fuel-to-oil ratio, using low-quality fuel or oil, a clogged air filter, or a poorly adjusted carburetor. An excessively rich fuel mixture can result in excessive smoke. Other factors such as a dirty or worn spark plug, a damaged muffler, or a malfunctioning engine can also contribute to smoking. It is important to address the issue promptly by checking and adjusting the fuel mixture, cleaning or replacing the air filter, ensuring proper carburetor adjustment, and maintaining other components according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Why is my petrol chainsaw smoking?
It is not recommended to leave petrol in a chainsaw for extended periods of time, especially during storage. Petrol can deteriorate over time, leading to fuel system issues and potential damage to the chainsaw's components. Stale petrol can cause starting difficulties, clog the carburetor, and affect overall performance. It is advisable to drain the fuel tank and run the chainsaw until it stalls before storing it. If you anticipate a longer period of inactivity, consider using a fuel stabilizer or emptying the fuel system completely. Following these practices helps maintain the chainsaw's performance and extends its lifespan.
