Saw prep for storage

[Brown8417]

I always use non ethanol fuel. I don't do anything special for storage. I just let them sit until I need them again.

Same, run them and then I don’t, pull out to run them and never have had an issue. But I always, always blow them off after ever time I run them. Pull the top cover and recoil cover off and hit them with compressed air. Then I give them a quick touch up on the chain. Fire them on the shelf and let ‘em sit until next time.

Me too. I have more problems with that than fuel issues, lol. I dump the oil tanks and store with “pig mats” underneath.

Got an old Husky that leaks whatever bar oil is left after use. I've had it apart several times and can't find a leak anywhere. Checked the handle/tank for leaks when I built it. The lines go up and back down from reservoir to oil pump. Siphoning maybe. Dumping bar oil back into the jug is a PITA.

I find it easier to give them a run about once a month, that circulates
fuel through them.
The fuel we get out here in New Zealand putting it mildly is absolute sh-t.
And I don't like draining them out because of the carby drying out
and having problems there.

Have tried storing them on rewind side?

Back "in the day" of leaded fuels, I used to run them dry, pull the plug & put a little oil in the jug & spread it around with a few pulls & replace the plug. This worked well with no carb issues. Now I use VP mixed with 710 Motul@ 40:1 & leave the tank full. The full tank helps avoid condensation.

Fixt…
