With a very mild winter across all of North America, we're going to be dusting off the lawn equipment a lot earlier than normal this year. I like to get at the maintenance side of everything now so I start fresh with filters, fluids, sharp blades, and fresh fuel.
The modern gasoline formulas are the source of headaches in small engine owners all over. These new fuel additives flash off faster than the gasoline and cause carburetors to gunk up and fail faster than anything ever before.
Remember to always shut off the fuel on small engines at the end of season or use (generators) so that they run out of fuel and then put the choke on full and pull it a few times to get as much fuel out of the bowl as you can to ensure it will start on one pull the next time.
I'm making sparks on the grinder sharpening blades and getting all the little things tightened up now before the explosion of spring growth takes over all my free time.
