Oh another thing I missed but is important here. I hope it helps out fellow HC members. I have 'fixed' more lawn mowers, chain saws, weed whackers this year alone that I have had a supply from the trash day ride around picking them up at the curb..I just put 2 on porch last night in fact..will have running today..people are just tossing to trash and gettin new ones because theirs won't ' start'.....It is mostly due to poor octane in the gas you mix oil with....yes..oil mixed with the already energy depleted gasoline...and ....no fire...I have just dumped out the gasoline and added high octane gas to these trashed items and they fire right up..I have given back 4 chain saws to owners just this yr alone for example after they said...junk, won't start anymore..worn out..well....I get them running in about 5 min and they crap...good example of poor energy at fuel pumps....won't even run mowers...so word to wise here...for the gallon gas you put in mowers, whackers, chainsaws...spent the extra but make sure you run the highest octane you get at pump...is only a gallon or so...
