Bought a brand new 34 ton log splitter with a Honda 8HP engine on it and ran it wide open for a full day, splitting solid red oak. It ran like a champ on E10. Shut the fuel off and let carb run dry. Started it once a month, let it run for a few minutes, shut off fuel and walk away. It would run out of fuel and stop on its own. Never had any problems. I had done this before it was used as well, because I had it for more than six months before I needed to split anything. Let a friend borrow it for half a day, so he and his son could split some for his widowed MIL. Told them to do this. They brought it back, but left the fuel on, carb full, and I didn"t check it for a month. It would barely run, even with the choke on! Pulled carb and it looks like it is full of chalk. It is actually the corrosion from the moisture in the fuel reacting to the aluminum carb body, and it is one of the new carbs that you can"t get into, due to emissions regs. Never had any problems with the old gas, E10 won"t start any of my two-strokes if its more that 3 weeks old. I think we need to have a choice when we buy our fuel, and not have it forced down our throats. This stuff is junk, and I FARM and RAISE CORN!

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
