Weed Wackers

Yeah, good story!

I bought that Snow Pup a few years ago off craigslist and it ran just fine when I was there buy once I got home with it, it ran poor and then didn't run at all. I ended up rebuilding the carb with a new kit and it ran just fine after that! For what snow we had last season, that is mostly what I used. Great that you got it running after all!

Cool story Matt, thanks for sharing.

A little bit of Sta-bil in your fuel mix works wonders. Alot of folks toss those gas powered yard implements down after the season, never to touch them again until the next,,then wonder why they wont do what they did last season, or operate as quick or as smooth. Especially on a snow blower. I am guilty of tossing the tools down.

All you need is this stuff in with the fuel.

They also make Iso-Heet which is a really good water absorber/injector cleaner for year round. This stuff gets circulated thru the 56 chevy fuel system when it gets parked for the season.

I have a Homelite 30CC weedwacker that I bought severly used for $15, probably 10-11 years ago, all I have ever used on it was Sta-Bil in the fuel mix. I toss it down every season after I am done, and when I pick it back up again the following, it starts right up after 3-4-5 pulls. Same spark plug it came with,, never changed.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Does Sta-bil have any form of alcohol in it? Yeah, we have never used any storage additive after summer. Have not had any problems though. I think the stuff we bought should work for storage.

We are going to sell the old one, to fund the new one.

Your 5% proprietary secret ingredient might be alcohol. Sta-bil wont say because it is proprietary.

What I know is that the Sta-bil works really good, and where I live we see all of the extremes from 18°F to 110°F, along with it being very wet around here for a great part of the year.

Hmm, the blue stuff said it contains no alcohol. We might try some of the Sta-bil.
