I guess most of us own at least one chain saw. I have two Stihl's, one about 30 YO and the other about 5 YO. Both saws were in the shop a few weeks ago because I couldn't get either one started. Was told it was bad gas (Ethanol). Used the new one time when I got it out of the shop and put it away - it hasn't started since even though it had Stihl ethanol free gas in it. The old one started on the second pull. The question I have for you is what do you do for your chain saws when you put them away? Run the gas out of the carb? Dump the gas in the tank? This is getting old and expensive ($8.00/liter). I'm probably like most of you and don't use the chain saws very often but when you need one ....
