last year had starting problems....finally spent half the price of a new one getting it going again. They blamed ethanol gas....
so I used a recommended gas treatment in all gas I bought.
A couple of the fallers I know and my trusted chain saw mechanic all claim that the ethanol in the gas is causing problems in chain saws. There is one station here that sells gas which is ethanol free. All the timber fallers are getting their saw gas there. If it is causing problems in saws it would cause problems in a weed eater.
I have a stihl weed eater. I wouldn't buy any other brand.
