I'd trade some snow for the 2 -3" of ice we get when it's cold outside.  We get snow ocasionally however, we usually have the snow on top of the ice.

Then, of course, it's amateur day.  People who haven't driven their cars in 10 years back them out of the garage and go like mad just to see if they can still drive on itRolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20LaughingWits%20End

 Adam, If you can find a 2-cycle oil there that's called 'Opti-2', that's what you want to use. It's one mix for ALL two cycle engines (chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, snow throwers, outbord motors,etc.) and  is undoubtedly THE BEST there is, period! Thumbs%20Up It's all I've sold in my shop for 10 years. It has a fuel stabilizer already in it along with a patented eutectic additive that really helps your engine run cooler, smoother and longer. And, it's smokeless. It's the best. They have a number to find a dealer in  your area. http://www.opti2-4.com/opti-2.htm


   I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

I'm a chainsaw mechanic and I'm with Longhorn. Opti-2 is the best thing on the market,but I would include premium fuel with all 2 stroke motors. 50 to 1 mix is recomended throughout the industry when using a good quality 2 stroke oil but when "Optimol" company came out on the market they promised to increase your engine warranty by 50% when using thier product. I've been using it for 12 years in all my own equip. and my customers and I firmly believe in it. Thier pre mix is actually 70 to 1 but leaves less carbon deposits in the exaust port to rob your motor of compression.    Oh !  The smoke could be blamed on the oil not burning efficiently until it's warm.aceinthehole492007-02-12 15:01:51
