Have tried e10 in the chipper, if machines left  (Honda gx390) I still get a fecking gammy carb, pipes then I end up putting a new carb on it after normal fuel,  dunno.if its the local garage but premier fuel still has the same outcome 

Over a couple of years I have been given half a dozen four stroke pedestrian mowers that the owners have failed to start after being over wintered. They have been replaced with battery powered ones. All of them had gummed up idle jets.

 I dont know , ive tried genuine carbs and non genuine carbs ,still had issues ,got rid ov the Honda engine on and either replaced them with loncin or Villiers..id love to put standard petrol in them but for the cost of carbs and down time I think il stick  sthil 4 stroke, sometimes thirsty  but easier and no issues with carbs or pipes . Its doing my nut in crap fuel.  2 pulls and its running

I don’t understand anyone still using E10 in any machine.

Is it really worth the cost saving?

It’s shite.

 

Reuben your situation is baffling.

I know you aren’t some cretin who doesn’t understand machines or mix, so it isn’t user error.

 

Husky gear is generally pretty good, as most of us know.

 

Have you been saying nasty things about the government on the internet?

They may have sent an elite hit squad to screw your machines.

I blame the Labour Government 🤔 Ed Milliband and his net zero must be involved somehow.

 

Hahahahaha!

 

Great minds Steve!

Maybe fuel from a certain garage is dire then,and i should use fuel from a different garage!  But the will be weeks where it doesn't get used ,thats when the damage seems to happen -pipes going brittle and carbs playing up... and in the  sediment bowl is a dubious white grease/lard deposit
