R Scheer 507 #26 Posted April 8, 2020 Why would I laugh, sounds like a normal day for me. I just brought the brush cutter around to start it up, get the oil warmed up, and change it. Put gas in, put the choke on, pulled the cord. The thing wouldn't start. Pulled the cord again and again. Walked away, came back, turned the switch to "ON", it started right up. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately this was at the big show with a few other clowns standing right there and watching. They had a pretty good laugh at my expense and one of them won't ever let me live it down! It was kind of funny though! Ethanol free? If so you kinda chose the "O'Douls" of gas to take a swig from. I usually try to go with the 10% ethanol when trying to take a swig, at least it is 20 proof at that point...... but my internal plastic seals tend to have an issue..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
