Naw, it is an art project!It would probably have been less work just fixing the mower!
I got a great Honda mower for 40 bucks because of ethanol. I cleaned the carb and it runs like a champ. I see them on CL all of the time. I think you could make some good money buying them, cleaning the carbs and reselling them.
I love my Honda Harmony. Had it for close to ten years, only had to change the carb out once, and change the plug. Even a gimpy like me can get it started on one feeble pull. Wish my chainsaw was that accommodating. Stabil is the best thing ever invented.I got a great Honda mower for 40 bucks because of ethanol. I cleaned the carb and it runs like a champ.

One of the many reasons to consider going 4-stroke instead of 2-stroke.Heck i lent my weed wacker to the neighbor and he almost ruined it by refilling it with straight gas... Luckily he remembered to ask me if it needed oil mix ......
Ever notice that new mowers sometimes ship with oil in the case already? The manufacturers found that if you put an oil container in the box, a certain percentage of buyers are dumb enough to try starting it without reading the directions and filling the oil. But not to dumb to return.

I try not to buy from the big box boys for that very reason. Last chainsaw I got from an authorized dealer, they took the time to go over everything for me, and even showed me "secret combination" of how to choke the thing properly without treating me like an idiot woman(which I can be at times)A great reason to encourage folks to buy from a dealer that takes the time to prep the machine before turning it over to the user. Retail giants don't give a flying fornication about what they're selling (outside of the price tag that is) and returns are just a another thing their employees have to dredge through before they finish their shift. That's why the majority of what they offer is "disposable".
And another great reason to be discriminate about whom you loan your tools too. If anybody.
