My dad owns a small engine repair business. The last few years I would bet 30% of his work can be directly attributed to ethanol in gas. I was in his shop one afternoon this summer and watched him “fix” two chainsaws and a weedeater by simply flushing the gas in them and pumping new gas through the system and then starting them. $30 bucks a pop (and he’s cheap.) Those were the lucky customers. Most people had their carburetors ruined by the ethanol and would be paying for a carb rebuild or buying a new machine.
I’ll have to remember that — good tip!
