old. Replace fuel with fresh

 

stabilized fuel. Obtain fuel

 

from another supplier before

 

suspecting machine problems.

 

Suppliers blend fuels differently

 

and changing suppliers will

 

generally solve any performance

 

problems.

 

• Fuel blended with alcohol or ether

 

may contribute to performance

 

problems by causing gum and

 

varnish deposits, especially if

 

fuel is stored for several weeks

 

or more. Obtain fresh fuel.
