Tomy: welcome to the forum and you are in good company up there in Maine because i know a few quality members that live there too.
i have a question if you don't mind since it sounds like you know a thing or two about small engines. i started putting non ethanol gas in my small engines two summers ago and seems to be helping if i forget to run them dry in for the winters while they sit.
any comment or expertise you can share would be helpful.
BTW get on threads and participate by either asking questions, sharing your wisdom or just post a nice thread comment and you will love this place.
