Most common causes of engine failure

[woodsdog2015]

Most common cause is operator error. By a large margin.

You guys should see the stuff that comes in here. Most of you know how to take care of a saw. But the typical saw owner.............

I am going to a charity cut a week from Saturday my buddy says it is very entertaining what some people bring to cut with. Also, some of the operators are scary to watch.

Can you expand on the things you see at these cuts that you're talking about?  I 'm very curious.

So should I run my MS362CM and MS251 with a 40:1 ratio?  Will the electronic carb adjustment get mucked up if I switch?  I can't imagine that it would.  I like that I can dump the 2.6oz. of Stihl mix in a one gallon container of nonethanol 91 octane gas and be ready to roll... is it that much of a concern to run 50:1????
