Yep. Small motors of those types do not handle E5/E10 well. Use straight unleaded. Cars are properly designed for it.I wonder about that fuel. Dealer has so far replaced three of my new 2t strimmers ? And my chain saw, perfect for 8byr is now playing up. I think the e10 eats the seals in small carbs on 2t machines. I will try blowing carb out on chainsaw, however once these things play up I rarely have a good outcome. The strimmers just get hard to start then won't idle so far 3 of them in 3 months, even Dealer can't get them to run properly and replaces them???? Last time I ran carb dry when I finished will be interesting to see. I use the same 2t oil as for 15 yr so wot else can it f be!!
