The hemi actually goes in ALOT of the 2500s too you know

Premium has isn't as important I'm small engines as ETHANOL FREE is. Who likes replacing primer bulbs and fuel lines every other year?

Yes I know the Hemi goes in the 2500 too.



Anywho, worked on the mower a little, got it to start right up and run good. Took it to where I needed to finish mowing and it won't start.

Cleaned, the spark plug, which was black, cleaned the air filter, no dirt down in the bowl, did see some metal shavings below the top cover that holds the pull string, didn't see anything wrong, don't have a puller to do a good inspection though...

I've been adding Star-Tron (ethanol treatment) to my gas for my yard equipment for years, and since I started I've never had any issues, but yeah if you can get ethanol free that's even better...

I used that stuff for a little while, saw your post about it somewhere on here. Now the pure station opened back up so I go there

I can get Ethanol Free Gasoline in town for a nickel or so more than the cheap stuff. But I don't think that will solve my lawn mower issues...


The truck likes pure gas though

Also, word on the block at the dealership is Chrysler/fiat is going to phase out the dodge brand in the coming years. Going to just be Chrysler, ram, jeep, and SRT
And the Sergio Merchonnie (however the hell you spell his name) has already said that Fiat has no plans for nuking the Dodge brand.
Besides, they'd miss out on all the minorities buying their cars.

Damn weedeater is a piece of crap too.
What brand is your weedeater?

I run 89 for all the lawn equipment as that is what Echo says is needed for their engines, so we just get all 89 for all that stuff.

I've got a bottle of Star-Tron, just never used it. You use it in the tanks or in the gas cans?
I use Seafoam AT LEAST once a year in my lawn mower since I used it to clear up a hard start issue. Runs like new. But I DO have to replace the priming bulb as it is torn.

We use Echo. Got an Echo CS-400 chain saw and a PAS-260 split shaft powerhead that currently has a cultivator on it. The Echo engines are just explosive. It's great.
