Honda

rverdlm--
It is darn good advice to always use an additive to the gas when not using one for extended periods. I am my own worst enemy in this--the Honda motor I was using was on a piece of equipment (13hp unit) and had not used any gas additives in over 7 years of use. It always started easily until I used the ethanol the one time. I also have a Poulan chainsaw that is over 18 years old--never have done anything to the fuel, and it always starts on 2nd/3rd pull, and I only use it every year or so. But the one time with the Honda and service cost way more than the additive would have. Lesson learned.
