fuel

I keep reading that you shouldn't use stale fuel, but what do you do with it? I've just acquired a Stihl HS80 hedge trimmer, with the tank full of fuel. It appears to have been stored for ages, and I'm going to have to rebuild the carburetor... but what to do with the old fuel? Mark

Noticed shell no longer had an ethanol free option here in Ontario. Been looking online, and it sounds like Canada may have prohibited gas stations from selling anything with less than 10% ethanol; starting at the end of 2022. Is that the case? Is the only remaining ethanol-free option the...

Got myself a 261-C the other day, heard they're very good saws and this was incredibly cheap, so thought it was worth a shot. Seems like the saw is all good, it just smokes quite heavily when under high load. I've done a bit of searching, I can rule out a chain/bar issue as it doesn't have one...

I purchased a Craftsman (yes I know) chainsaw at an auction a while back. I've replaced the primer bulb, fuel lines, and filter. It's always been difficult to start but now I've got a new problem. When I go to pull start it - it has a large amount of fuel in the cylinder. I pull the spark plug...

Just wondering what these male/male connectors to join pieces of fuel hose are called. Hoping to use one of those with a duckbill valve to jimmy rig a tank vent. Cant find anywhere to buy them with the terms i'm searching so far. I only see them as parts of hose kits.

Hi, I've just tried to give my Husqvarna carb a spruce up, but when I try and prime the saw there is pressure building in the 3 fuel pipes, and no fuel circulating. Also have huge pressure in the tank too. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a Husqvarna 235 X-Torq that bogged down completely when under load, tried to do a carb rebuild (most probably badly), and now it wont even try to start. Also seems to really be an issue with the priming system as when I prime it, pressure builds up in the fuel pipes and in the fuel...

I think I finally found why I cannot start the chainsaw. Looks like a fuel line came off. Does anyone know how to go about accessing and fixing this? In the photo it is near the end of the screwdriver.

Hi, I'm sure a few of you have seen my dreaded MS211 project on here over the past few weeks. I've managed to get the saw running finally, if not a little lumpy. There's a definite issue with the choke which I'm fairly sure cannot be fixed at this point due to damage of the chainsaw's frame. My...

Hi, I've got a stihl MS21, hasn't started from the day I've owned it. Tried pulling it and an ungodly amount of fuel has pi***d everywhere, the exhaust is full, it's coming out of the carb and dripping down the handle. Something catastrophic is wrong, but what?

I have or had an excellent running Husqvarna 394xp. Unfortunately the little tiny screw that holds the choke baffle on the shaft came loose when the motor was off. and when I tried to start the chainsaw it fell down into the case but it got caught ( between the flywheel and the case) before it...

Hello all, I am at a complete loss- my Husqvarna 394 chainsaw will start but immediately dies. It is a 1998 model. I have already tried the following: New Gas line New Fuel filter New Fuel tank vent New tank vent filter New Gas cap Put carb kit in it Cleaned the carb Air filter is...

Hi, i have a husqvarna 435, but when i push the primer bulb 6 times,gas comes out of the tank vent.It starts very hard,runs good but stalls.I replaced the fuel lines and the filter too

I was just hoping that someone who has done this successfully or who knows more about this than I could guide me in how to crack and reseal my XL-700 that has a fuel tank leak.
