    Every year I do my final mow and put the push mower in the garage with whatever E10 is still in the tank. Every spring I bust it out and it starts on the first or second pull. It’s been that way for the past decade in the humid southern US. One decade those ethanol gremlins will get me like everyone always says. I mean they know! They have a friend it happened to! Them being the personality type that references “Commiefornia” has absolutely nothing to do with it because, again, they have a friend it happened to who probably owns a business so it’s extra true now.

      I do this too. Only have issues with the newer mower. The siphon tube gets blocked by the gel e it causesvery few years. Take carb off, clean it, and good to go. People wayyyyy over exaggerate the problems with ethanol in gasoline.
