Well, any other suggestions folks, before I ceremonially fall on my sword?
Mick,
Some members can be real downers. Just keep trying as that how I have learned most of what I know about 2 cycles. As 8 Stroking I have never heard that term and I have working equipment for over 30 yrs. The term I have heard especially when it comes to chainsaws is 4 stroking.
Rovert reminds me of the only barred member of a forum I manage here that was finally barred for insulting members especially our elderly members. Moderators wanted to give more rope to hang himself and he did after 6 months of warnings when he jumped on one of the moderators. If I had my way he would have been gone after the 3rd warning.
