I have noticed that if I drain my mowers and trimmers that the fuel lines, diaphragms and such get brittle and fail on me. Hard starting or not and leaking fuel issues. This method was me dumping or using all the fuel then running the engine till it dies WITH the choke on.
Now that I have stopped doing the above, I've had zero issues. My new method is running fuel stabilizer year round. I fill each tank full to leave no air in the tank in winter months. Next spring they all start like they were brand new.
I spent $180.00 on a gas tank and fuel lines for my Maruyama trimmer. You guessed it, I ran it dry in the prior fall season. Oh and all my gear is kept inside my cozy garage.
What do you guys do?
