I have over a dozen chainsaws. Some sit for a year without use. I use the cheapest reg. gas with "up to 10%" alcohol. NEVER had a problem.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
