I don't complain as it is repair work.

Users usually are too be of a hurry when putting away their equipment. On top it the equipment might for a year or more between uses. As the fuel mix nearly everything here now uses 50:1 mix. I still use a multi-mix synthetic oil with stabilizer as I do still get in antiques that need as much as 16:1 mixes. Usually go through about 5 gallons a year in the shop.

Just got in a pole saw yesterday. Customer said just needed fuel lines. Funny it needed those plus a metering diaphragm with gasket and internal fuel strainer. Good thing I keep these in stock.

Kinda nice to have though as I had a storm just pass through and blown a tree down on my fence for the chickens and emus. Luckily I had the 2 emus in a second pen at the time. That pole saw got a good test run. laugh Oh, how convenient to just get one in the shop. One draw back now I got to sharpen the chain. wink That something I got find in bulk chain which is a chain with the bumper links. Probably will need an Oregon or Stihl chain.

Plenty chainsaws so I it wasn't that I struck without a way to clean up the tree but I do think that 88cc with the 36" bar would have been a little over kill.
