Storing my saws

[goof008]

ok, my cutting season has ended until my shoulder heals (about 2-3 months I hope) should I drain the gas mix and bar oil from my saws? I run Echo pre-mix which is says has a gas stabilizer in it and a touch of SeaFoam.

Id run the saw dry but leave bar oil in saw, no need to drain it imo unless it leaks...

Hey goof, not to be a jerk, but this has been discussed at length. Do a search on here, and you'll get several threads worth of good reading.

I knew that was coming, when I seen you were the last to post.

I drain the fuel from my weedeater every fall, then run it till it quits. I've had no problems starting it in the spring.

So am I wrong to help out a guy by pointing out a viable feature on the site so he can gather more info?

(And I took the liberty of correcting your grammar for you. )

No your not wrong, just predictable.

Thanks, For the grammar lesson.

Well, as someone said when they pos repped me in this thread, "teach a man to fish..."

I'm just looking out for the new guys the way others looked out for me when I started up.

I just wanted to post a message here, because I have been told in the past on this board that my method for storage was incorrect.

I have put stabil in the gas, and then run the tank dry.

In the case of the chainsaws, there is stabilizer built in to the oil mix.

Today, I tried to start a generator that was put away in that exact fashion.

I filled it with a fresh tank of premium gas, and pulled the cord,
it fired up on the first pull, and ran perfectly load and no load for a half hour.

The exhaust smoked a little for a minute, and then ran just like new.

It had been in storage since 2002.

This same type of question was just asked about 2 weeks ago. About 2 pages back.

Thanks Gary. I was gonna, but....

Yeah I am usually the first to point out the search because it hardly ever gets used, and it's there for a reason. It's not that it's a bother to answer the question, it's just that I want to point a guy in the right direction and help him out. If it was a bother, I woudln't reply at all. It's alright, I've been called on before for pointing out the search.

So I'm predictable....try a search for "search" and you'll see that I am! :hmm3grin2orange:

Grandad always said "Give a man to fish and you'll feed him for a day...
Teach a man to fish and he'll spend every Saturday in the front of our boat drinking your beer."

Thanks guys, What would I do without you ?
I did a search on grammar, seems to be a big topic among chainsaw users.

There is gas in my 55 rancher & Husky 141 & Stihl weed eater i do have stabilizer in the gas they always fire right up BUT maybe i should drain them.
