SDS for Seafoam: https://seafoamsales.com/uploads/2019/09/SDS-SFMT-US-ENG-v20190905-1.pdf Has up to 25% isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). It's not ethanol, but no better or worse in my mind. Fine for a car or equipment with old gas that is salvageable. Although alcohol is bad in fuel for...

Stabil good. Even with e-free, I still put it in every can of gas I buy. AFAIK, Seafoam has alcohol in it, bad.

Forgive me if someone already posted this. $800 for a Mini MAC, he started at $1,250. https://allentown.craigslist.org/grd/d/macungie-1973-mcculloch-mini-mac-30/7115418387.html

I've been using K2 for five years, 89 e-free, everything runs fabulous. Fuel stored properly in sealed can, sometimes fuel gets mixed late in the fall and sits until spring, no issues, no separation, runs fine. I'm just a firewood guy, so no tear-down inspections, but no reason to suspect a...

Ok, good to know, just two types to choose from keeps it simple! I ordered some of the green ones anyway, so I'm covered now. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Crap. I know, easy fix, but I paid top dollar to get a perfect NOS cap. Yeah, I know old rubber and plastic disintegrates, but it was advertised as "undamaged". The picture of the underside on eBay was fuzzy. Mark, you may not remember, but you helped...

Gentlemen - I am trying to resurrect a PM 610 for a friend. Fuel cap was blowing fuel, and I couldn't be sure it was just the gasket or also the vent, so I pressed what I thought would be the "Easy Button" and ordered a replacement cap from eBay, advertised as new and never installed. Upon...

Ah, very good... thanks!

I'd like a copy too, if someone has it. Thx! (I think mine is just a MS-180C...)

Ok, so the whole reason I got into this a few weeks ago was that the carb started running lean. Disassembled in my parts washer, reassembled, ran great, so didn't mention above. After using for a day or two more after my previous posts, it started the lean act again. Seemed like the fuel...

It doesn't do anything but restrict the intake. I was stretching to suppose maybe they did something maybe to dissuade spitback. With an adjustable carb I would ditch it in a heartbeat. The saw is so useful as is for what it does, I will likely not fool with it for now, but I am curious, are...

Yes, it's just an MS180, just a plastic fantastic trim saw, but we all wonder if we can get "more". There is an insert that goes in the intake throat that can only restrict air flow. Maybe it helps control spitback, I can't think of any other purpose. Just wondering if anyone else has results...

Praise the Lord! Very glad for your good news!

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more love for Maxima K2. It's been working well for me at 40:1, but I'm just a firewood hack and haven't torn anything down to look at the effects of running it. I guess I'm hoping someone else will want to do that! Currently $32 for 64 oz on Amazon. Free...
