Good Thing I have one of each color. I get people that ask questions all the time on the white one. And mostly the black one they just ask if it is for sale or about the coated brush guard.

Everybody getting the summer toys out and ready to go today I see.
I still have to get my genset to cooperate, the stable I put in the fall doesn't seem to have done the trick.

Have you had any problems with these new ethanol fuels eating fuel lines on the gensets Rich?
Only thing that's bugging me right now, but not exactly rocket science to figure out, I'll look at it Tuesday....

I've been wanting to get a genset for the house, it's on the 5 year plan.

I would highly suggest using the fuel treatment in any small engine. I am seeing them start to do damage on my chainsaw also. It will save the fuel system, but is such a pain in the butt to have to do now. You will end up having to clean or replace the carb also, I am sure it is plugged up.

I need to replace the carb on my saw. luckily it's only about $40.

My saws have just been 87 octane. I have not been putting any kind of stabilizer in either, the little one has gotten the most use. and has run a few tanks. Maybe runs a couple times a year lately. The big one has not run in about 4 years since the last big tree was taken down. It fired up and ran great. I ran it out of gas and have not refilled due to having to mix up more 2 stroke and add the starbrite Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment Gas Additive Small Engine

Ive been doing my damndest to stay away from the ethanol stuff with the mowers and stuff. There are a lot of stations here that have only ethanol mix, so I have to go to certain ones to get my fuel.
