Default RE: petrol engine

<div>If you plan not to run your 2 stroke engine for say 2-3 months just mix a small amount od FRESH gas with additive called fuel stabil. Then run the engine long enough to get the new fuel mix through the engine. Rev it up wide open and kill it with full choke on. This pulls a lot of the gas -oil into the crankase. There it will keep everything from rusting and keep the seals flexible. I have a chainsaw nearly 20 years old and done this after every time I used it...at the last run of the day. That saw has never needed a carb part. I did replace the in tank fuel line &amp; felt filter...just as a maitainence thing. I read it was the thing to do on a Klotz oil can years ago. Works very good. Capt,n
I added photo of wood the same saw cut in 3 days...by my son-in law!</div>
