Paul, most people don't know what they're talking about when it comes to ethanol, what it does, and how it effects engines. You can't talk sense to them. Science and real facts have no bearing.
Ethanol is the modern day boogeyman. Any engine-related problem is blamed on ethanol.
Threw a rod? Couldn't be because there isn't a drop of oil in the crankcase, could it? NAW, it's gotta be the ETHANOL in the fuel!!!
Anecdotal evidence weighs heavy with this crowd. Here's my experiences:
I have a Super H with FIVE YEAR OLD ethanol fuel in it. Starts right up and runs fine. No Stay-Bill or anything else in it. Still smells like gas even.
Last fall I helped a neighbor cut up a large tree that had fallen down in his yard. The gas I used in my 1975 Mcculloch chainsaw was E10, and had been sitting on the shelf for at least a year. Saw ran as well as it ever has.
I have three other tractors, two trucks, a weedwacker, six other chainsaws, a pressure washer, snowblower, a push mower, and two generators. All have E10 fuel and all sit around for months between startups with no Sta-bil, mostly because I forget. They all start right up when I need them, no problems.
