Shop I had soup up my Saws open up the open the mufflers jet and port t them recommend it. said it's got 5 year shelf life and eliminates trips to the shop and 32 to 1 is better for longevity. they compared 50 to 1 like running your vehicle a quarter low on oil. It works but is not good for it. they said 50 to 1 was more of an epa thing and sell more Saws thing.
It cost more and the airport is a longer drive but I only use 10 gal a year and Saws run great when tuned for it. Never a bad gas related problem and am odd benefit that I don't stink like I have been running 2 cycle when I get done any more
We run 50:1 with 91 Oct non ethonal fuel. We really don't have any issues with the saws other than recoils, etc. We do burn a lot of fuel and buy it 5 gallons at a time so it's never more than a couple weeks old.

Yes if I was still doing tree work and using my Sawa for more than cleaning up the farm and fire wood I don't know if I would go through the extra effort. Not stinking like chainsaw fumes when getting done is a nice bonus though.
Husqavarna I like the primer and if the starter freezes up you can thaw them out to an open fire. But mine been on fire a couple times now. keep right on going.
Thanks to all for your helpful and personal help on this matter. Lots of info to decipher. I'm going to update all my equipment and prep so my wife and I aren't caught unprepared. Thank you, Sarge

Husky and stihl own both and have no complaints with either. For smaller saw I tend to lean towards the husky models and for bigger saws I lean towards the stihl models. When looking into buying a chainsaw well one is none and two is one if your picking up what I’m putting down haha. I only buy the pro saw models that home ow er crap is well exactly that crap. Buying them from a good reliable saw shop matters more than the saws them selves imo.
Pretty much brand loyal with Stihl and their pro saws. We didn’t have a Husky shop in town until about six years ago. I am considering buying a red saw for my next big saw.
How many of you guys thaw out your frozen chainsaw like this?
I would be curios if you kept a peice of canvas tarp or something like that around to keep putting the saw down on or wrap the saw up in if it wouldn't freeze up like that
I try not to cut in sub zero or deep snow but I have , when I do I like to keep everything in my ice fishing type sled so that it is not getting laid down in the snow
another thought would be if you cut some of that green brush off and made a little pile and set your saw down on the pile so it didn't get so much snow in the recoil starter housing.
my other thought would be with it that cold you probably don't need that much of the side of the saw exposed , molding a peice of .125 kydex to fit over that side of the saw with a one inch gap and some wire to secure it , it would be like putting a cover on the grill of the truck to keep the heat in the radiator. air would still get drawn in , but you could control from where
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
I actually kinda hate them all. They seem to break down as much as snowmachines. I currently have Stihl, ms250, 391 and a 460. I’m always wrenching on them for one thing or another. I do know that keeping a clean air filter on hand saves a lot of trouble, when they go, they go.
