Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like chainsaws, weed eaters, string trimmers, grass trimmers, line trimmers, hedge trimmers, strimmers, brush cutters, leaf blowers, or four stroke, four cycle units like lawn mowers, pressure washers, generators, ride on mowers that need parts installed or replaced, I’m your guy.

Thanks for the video. I purposely went and bought E0 fuel today specifically ahead of winter for all of my Stihl products. Do I need to worry about fuel stabilizer etc if I put this fresh E0 fuel in and put them to bed for winter? Thanks!

I drain the tank and then run the engines dry every year regardless if it is 2 stroke or 4 stroke. I never leave fuel in them. Also I only run ethanol free 2 cycle gas mix in my 2 strokes. This method has never let me down and all of my equipment, which includes 3 mowers, chainsaw, chipper.shredder, 2 tillers, trimmer and blower always start when I need them again.

Fun video to watch. A good tip on small engines is to pull the starter rope till you feel compression. It blocks off the intake and exhaust ports on 2 cycle and closes the valves on 4 cycle. This way no moisture, critters or other foreign stuff gets into the cylinder.

The marine stabilizer may be better for ethanol blended gas. Ethanol absorbs water, stabilizer helps restrict water from contaminating the fuel. Being marine 'grade' or whatever I'd guess it has extra water repellent properties.

I have a Lawnboy 2 stroke, mix ratio is 32:1, I use this same gas in all of my 2 stroke equipment, weed eater, leaf blower, etc., At the end of the season I just leave the gas mix in the equipment. I do not run the tank dry, I never have any problem starting the equipment in the spring. I believe that the oil in the 2 cycle mix helps prevent gum from forming during the off season. Just my two cents.

Put approximately one ounce per gallon of fuel in with your normal mix. We go on the heavier side most times. Then we run the equipment dry for storage. The sea foam is supposed to help keep the fuel stabilizer but will also clean small amounts of build up as well. I can’t prove it but we use it every year and hasn’t failed us for almost ten years. We have four saws and many trimmer weed eaters etc...

Thumbs up. Pretty much how I learned to evacuate the fuel from a machine that wont be used for awhile. Not sure if it's necessary, but an old time thing I'd add was to pull the spark plug and pour a cap-full/teaspoon of 2 cycle oil into the cylinder and crank it over a good dozen times. A winter can turn into a year or several years before you know it. One more thing; when in a humid climate, toss a silicone moisture absorbing pack (that comes in the box with your new boots, shoes, electronic gizmo...) into your chainsaw case when storing away.

Very good advice. Many years ago, We had constant problems with our small mixers and gas saws and a mechanic showed us this same technique. We do it faithfully always. Even if we are using the machine again in a month or so, we run it dry and never have problems starting any of our equipment. Simple, but great advice and saved us many hours of trying to get mortar mixers, concrete mixers, gas saws etc. to start. Thanks.

I use marine grade Stabil fuel stabilizer with Star Tron fuel enzyme in all my stored fuel. I add it before pumping 91 octane into my 5 gallon jug for small engine use. The fuel is winterized & leave it in there & when I use it again in the spring it fires right back up.

I use fresh non-ethanol mix. Add stabilizer. Run the engine a little to get it through the carb. Put it on the shelf with tanks full, to decrease condensation. I've never not had an engine start right up in the spring. My saws get used all year, with the exception of my pole saw.

Steve...u continue to teach this ole dog new tricks!! I did NOT know about primer bulb pushing AFTER emptying the tank nor the multiple choke engaged to start to burn carb fuel! Great ideas! However, as i get older and osteoarthritis pain..and since I run most of my gas powered landscaping tools all year long, especially in the fall and winter w my blowers and chainsaws, (except weedwacker, edger, and hedge trimmer) tractors, snowblower, etc...and previously a boat, motorcycle...I had to try and MINIMIZE the time to winterize...so i compromised...albeit...if i could i would do your method to be honest! I now use a separate can of fresh premium fuel for 4 strokes, and smaller can for two strokes. I think smaller engines benefit from higher octane, maybe also less ethanol. Then I add Stabil fuel stabilizer, AND StarTron Ethanol Treatment...best of both worlds...all year round! A lot of my gear is old, so to eliminate carbon build up in combustion chamber , exhaust exits, and on valves of 4 strokes...i used Sea Foam...i add directly to the tank of each piece of equipment, then just use them, no need for winterizing or 10-15 mins spent watching Sea Foam burn away carbon deposits. The 1987 310-8 Kohler 10hp Wheel Horse tractor, prob north of 4-5,000 hours on it, ...2 carbs, fuel pumps, and extensive fuel line, filters, and tank cleaning..still gets cranky and can be hard starting, so a few squirts of Ether...and it fires up. The Sea Foam treatments help it to idle and throttle up a lot better! Last 10-12 yrs use it mostly for leaf and debris pickup and snow plowing...had to repair mower deck rot holes w sheetmetal and learned how to weld pretty good! Steve, always enjoy your videos, tis the season, so toasting you my friend...w a Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale, tomorrow maybe an Oktoberfest draft at one of the local breweries! 🍻
