Good morning. It’s almost spring but that’s kind or irrelevant. The fuel additive thread below got me thinking about the fuel used in these small engines. I have about 15 -20 small engines Honda’s real red ones and a few blue, also a couple kohlers, Kawasaki and B&S. The fuel I get is probably mid grade... whatever we get delivers from the Co-Op and marked red for Ag use. Over all I don’t have too many fuel problems. I try to put add on plastic fuel filters in line wherever possible, as well as the big filter on the gravity tank.
My real question is, should we add anything to the fuel, at least in the fall after we slow down the use on some of them. Occasionally we will run out of gas and I grab a the chainsaw fuel 50:1, I never see them smoke and power is never an issue. Is that 2 cycle oil good for living the valves? Is there something else better we should use? I do change a lot of spark plugs, but nothing is ever really fouled, they just get changed regardless... cheap insurance to keep the equipment running. Anyway, what do you all uses for regular use and before storage. Thanks, Grant

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
