    Just look at all the small outdoor power equipment, chain saws, trimmers ect: All aluminum piston & cylinders in an air cooled engine running around 12,000 rpms.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Yes, however I just blew up my 2 year old "Lightly used" STIHL chain saw that I paid around $170. The repair with parts is around $150

    All aluminum, maybe I have a unit built on a Friday late afternoon or early Monday morning.



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    Always look at the "emission compliant rating" tag on any new 2 strokes. They have 3 ratings 50 hour, 150 hour and 300 hour. Now these numbers are actually a compliancy rating, but keep in mind that the sooner they are out of compliance the sooner they will wear out.

    Many Chains Saws, Trimmers and Blowers only have a 50 hour rating.
