I just found a local source for alcohol free 110 octane fuel...
My saw shop turned me onto it and also sells quarts of the premixed 2 cycle fuel that is also alcohol free at $5 a gallon.
The owner said most of the service problems they encounter are California Fuels related.

I just picked it up yesterday and man is it light!! It is the MS192....
192 uses same motor as the 170 from my understanding.
MS170 $179

Yeah im not sure all I know is I wanted the lightest saw I could get. I had my property timbered this past spring and have a bunch of tops with branches, my MS361 was getting very heavy at the pace I start going at while cutting and with a sore lower back the 361 takes it out of me that way also... Just going to use the bigger saw for the bigger stuff now.

Me too. I have a 14" featherweight Echo that I got on sale Home Despot about 10 years ago that has been bombproof. Always starts. Definitely saves the back when doing limbing and cleanup work.
My 361 refused to start yesterday. I think my saw musta caught a bug from yours.

OH NO!!!!! I hope it isn't contagious........ I still haven't heard back from the dealer on mine, all I know so far is that they had to order a rubber mount and a clip for something. I hope I hear something soon though.... It has been a little cooler the last few days and I would like to get busy working on the firewood!!!!

Saw Flu!
I think I flooded it. I was trying out a new helmet/shield/ear protection thingy. To keep it on my head I had to have the earmuffs snapped down. Not used to starting a saw I can't hear. It's getting cooler around here and I have tomorrow off, so I'll try again. If not luck it's time to play saw doctor.
Hope your news is good news!

The dealer called and said that my saw was done, $11 in parts and labor cost me a total of $110.... They said they had to completely rip the carb apart it was gummed up... I dumped all my old fuel out added the still hp super and about 1 1/2 ounces of stabil and 2 gallon of fresh 93 octane. I will pick the saw up Saturday at the dealer... I hope to have the saw back with no problems...:thumbsup:
