Hi...

Synopsis...

Honda FG100 4-stroke mini-rototiller...

Manual says drain gas tank for storage... not for me...   1st winter... stored with  tank full with Stabil stabilizer... would not run... carburator replaced under warrenty...

Winter-2... stored with tank full with PRI-G stabilizer... started 1st pull... ran fine...

Winter-3... stored with tank full with PRI-G stabilizer... started 1st pull... ran fine... but throttle sticking open... sprayed lube into carb... all is fine...

Suprised it started 1st pull with old gas in it... maybe I'll drain the gas and run it dry this winter...

Also... Craftsman 21" mower... sat all winter with gas and PRI-G in it... started after a few pulls... runs OK... 2nd year for this scenerio...

I'm stickin' with PRI-G... whether it makes the difference or not... Thanks to Bobby P for turnin' me onto it !

I also swithched to PRI G.  Lawnmower started on the second pull, riding mower on the turn of the key, blower, edger, and weed whacker started right up.  I could never saay that before when I used stabil.  I also used it in all the gas I treated last summer for my equipment and it all seemed to run better.

Me too......
I bought the quart of PRI-G...does 512 gallons........(for those of you wondering, that's 2cc, or 2ml per gallon.)
I just never got to do anything with my Shindy T230 weedwacker last fall.......but even with the old gas in it, it started the first time.

I'm beginning to think if everyone used PRI-G in their OPE, the repair people would be out of business!
