Monday I was finishing up some lawn work from the weekend and needed to edge the driveway and sidewalks but unfortunately the old electric BD edger burned up the last time I used it. So it was either go buy a new one or get out the old John Deere E35 gas edger that I rescued from my father in laws shed and get it running. Now this thing has been in the back of his shed since at least 2003, and when I opened the fuel cap I saw exactly what I expected...bad fuel. The weird thing about the fuel is that it was green, almost chartreuse. I dumped the fuel and added a little fresh fuel to the tank, sloshed it around and dumped it into the same container. At a minimum I figured I was in for rebuilding the carb, but I said what the heck lets see what happens. I added about 1/4 tank of fresh "pure" gas and on the 3rd pull the old Kawasaki engine fired right up and ran just like it had years before. I was stunned and happy! Just to make sure it wasn't a dream I went out last night to make sure and the thing fired up on the first pull. Its not all bad luck around here! Going to change the oil in it this weekend.
