Default Petrol strimmer - wow!

Hello Roy

RB You've convinced me! I'll add some more oil.

It's worth it, imo. The worst you can do with too much oil is foul the
plug (cost œ0, just one minute with a small knife). The worst with too
little - seized block (Cost œ100+). Oil cost is negligable, especially
for home use quantities.

When Husqy and Jonsered (Both Electrolux, iirc) first bought out their
50-1 oil we switched all our new chainsaws over to it. Two seized in
the first week. Hence we switched back, and never had another saw
seize. Wasn't as if it was high summer either.
