I run everything dry before long term storage. Sometimes I’ll use aviation fuel for the last use during fall leaf cleanup, that stuff has a shelf life of years and can be left in over winter.

Regarding the question you asked at the end of the video, yes my dad usually keeps fuel in his machines all winter long. We don't typically have cold winters here, mild at most. My dad will occasionally run some of his machines during the winter to keep the fuel from sitting too long. Sometimes, my dad will use a fuel stabilizer in his zero turn lawn mower if he plans to not run it for a long period of time.

You got that running real good thank you for the video

i typically use my machines through the winter so i don’t really worry about leaving my 2 cycles with gas in them

I keep fuel in all of my equipment along with a stabilizer, never had a Spring start issue. I only use ethanol free gas and keep the equipment indoors over the winter.

Fuel is definitely a problem, I got away from 5 gal cans I now use 2.5 gal can that’s enough for a 1 week lawn cut and using power washer around patio and driveway. I also use high octane gasoline the ethanol has a lousy effect on small engines. Since most gas stations have only one hose you need to pump the first 5 seconds into your car gas tank then fill up your gas can or you’re going to get what ever is in that 10’ of hose into your gas can and 9 out of ten times it’s goin to be ethanol.

Over the past 2 years I put my snowblower and mower away with no gas and new oil.. Mower 6+ months and Snowblower 4 months. I used the snowblower 1 time last season.

I run my primary mowers out of fuel at the end of the season. I only put enough fuel in my pressure washer and backup mowers to finish whatever I am doing. I never store them with gas in them.

I had one of these things that I got for free. It ran great and looked almost new but it would smoke like crazy if you held the throttle down for 10 seconds or so but would clear out if you didn’t hold it down for extended periods, ended up being that the crankcase vent nipple on the airbox had no hole through it, bad casting with plastic still inside. Drilled it out and it was fixed!

We can not buy ethanol free fuel now in Ontario Canada. So I would recommending at the end of the season to run them dry, or drain fuel. That is what I do. Great video as always. Thank you

I always kept fuel in everything but part were run into cold weather in getting firewood. Ran pump gas but non-ethanol ran better and Tru-fuel never failed. Happy week!

I have this same edger and LOVE it. No issues after 2 years. I drain the fuel and run until starved to winterize and no issues. Same as my weed eater with the same engine for the last 5 years. Love your videos. I have a TurfMaster 7.5 hp lawnmower thats always hard to start, even after a carb cleaning. Going to try the valve adjustment. Thanks!

Hey bro what's up? I normaly store my equipment with fuel in it because I'm from the Caribbean and we don't have winter in the Caribbean. I usually choose to do it this way since I typically cut my lawn on a fairly regular basis especially during the rainy season since the grass grows a lot during this time.

well for me it does differ by looking at that brand of lawn edger i would most surely store mine with clean fuel if it was a 4 stroke engine and a fuel stabilizer in it and it should not have any problems from there on etc.

What don't you like about how they are marketed?

It sounded like the rpm's were a bit low at full speed.

I keep fuel in most of my equipment unless they get used so infrequently (echo wp1000 water pumps), but the rest gets stored with fuel 100% gas with stabilizer.

When you repair equipment for people you know, do they watch the video and take offense when you throw shade on them?

I’m working on a lawn mower that belongs to my mother that’s not running properly. When I checked the oil, at first I thought it was good just by what it looked like at first glance however, something seemed a little off about it. On closer inspection it appeared to be a milky tan color and smelled as if it got gas in it. So being a novice to this kind of stuff I looked up what gas in oil looks like and I did find an image that looked almost exactly like it. So of course I drained it out, but before putting in fresh oil, is there a certain process that I should go thru to completely flush the tank and clean it out? Thank you.

No one keeps the crazy size spark plug so you might order one for back up and it the same as the trimmers

What type of liquid is in your diaphragm rejuvenation bath ? And where I live I leave fuel in every machine I own as mowing/gardening is done all year.

That is a strange looking 4 cycle edger engine it looks like a 2 cycle engine

I run my mowers & trimmer out of fuel. I keep the battery powered trimmer fully charged.

Before the winter I take the gas out of all my equipment 🙏👍🙏👍

Hey man. How’s it goin? Everything all good?

What cleaning agent do you use? What s clean

I seen you cleaned a Bolens Edger and it was pretty dirty… and I lost the video, what cleaning agent do you use? And also, do you have a price guide for you small engine work?

also, craftsman and troy built don’t really make the “highest quality” machines

The manufacture was wrong in creating that answer to a question nobody asked!

These peace’s of junk need oil change after every use 😢 Just cheap junk folks 😂
