I just bought a new Stihl MS261 and was reading through the owners manual (I know, shocking) and saw they recommend mid grade, non ethanol gas. I didn't read the fuel part of my weed wackers (also a Stihl) owners manual and have been running regular gas with whatever mix of ethanol they use these days. I haven't had any issues with it but don't want to push my luck. There is only one place about 65 miles round trip where I think I can get non ethanol gas. So I said all that to ask this, is it really a big deal to use ethanol gas in my chainsaw and weed wacker?
My other question is I see a lot of references to people having "ported" saws. What does this mean?
Thanks
