I don’t like small engines nowadays, what with plastic and catalytic exhausts, Ive had some really bizarre, like a briggs four stroke with a two stroke petrol mix and thought alright just to have oil in the petrol and poked a rod out the side, bore was ok though, just recently had a new Stihl to fix, good spark and wet plug should have gone, shot a cap of petrol down the carb and off it went and stopped, as had this sort of thing before so tipped the fuel out and refuelled with my mix, took a few caps of petrol to kick off but away with masses of smoke with a very hot exhaust, cats do not like a high oil mix and this chainsaw had been filled with white diesel, I should have binned this on the spot as a few weeks later it came back, absolutely no compression so took the top off to find no air filter, they had seen me tip petrol in to start it so somehow lost the air filter.
