Thread: Stihl 076 & Logosol Timberjig

I`ve always had a healthy respect for carpenters and the sort of men who bang nails into things.One of the hardest jobs for modern day joiners apparently is working on shuttering ply gangs.Using 1 inch ply sheets they make formers for concrete to be poured into during motorway construction.One friend who does this sort of work has a rather violent streak when drunk and I thought when I first met him I did not want to be hit by this guy,so I`ve avoided partying with him!

Oils.
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a mechanic who does a lot of off-roading in Landrover or on scrambler motor bike.He reckoned the new synthetic oils had revolutionised engine performances and no matter how hot a chain saw got the synthetic oil would still be doing its lubricating job.I told him about the man using normal tractor engine oil in his 25:1 petrol mix in his chain saw instead of special 2 stroke oil (or Stihl 50:1 oil that I use) and the mechanic reckoned so long as it was a high performance synthetic oil it would be ok. Of course when the 076 was made,oils were probably more primitive & maybe the special oil Stihl has developed wasnt available.
