[biofuel] converting a chainsaw

2001-05-13 Thread Michael DeWolf

If someone would want to convert a gasoline chainsaw to a biofuel, 
how could this be done?

Could you use Ethanol?  Can you use Ethanol at 100%?  Does it matter 
if it is a two-stroke or a four-stroke?

Could you use Methanol?  Can you use Methanol at 100% ...


TIA,

Michael Dewolf

Michael:

You can use bio-based two stroke oil, at least.

 It's made from high oleic Canola and soy oil.

 Has anyone tried biodiesel/ethanol blends in 2 strokes?

You can't run a 2 stroke on straight alcohol or
gasoline.  Tends to do bad things inside of the
engine.  Of course they run really good for about 10
minutes, but then that is it and you either A, have to
replaced the engine, or B, buy a new chain saw.  ;-)  

As far as a 4 stroke, you would need bigger jets to
run the alcohol vs gasoline.  Otherwise, you have a
saw that runs really lean and well, it won't last long
like that either...   Just my 2 cents..
