    I have this 128L in my garage now, in need of this exact fix. I'll order a gasket kit for the carb and get it cleaned out. Thanks for posting this!

    This is what ethanol (alcohol) in our fuels do to small engines. Soon as I saw that slime on the micro screen, ethanol pulls in water from the air and creates that slurry. And it dissolves those hoses. Surprised the primer bulb was cracked. Good fix.

      It sure does attract moisture and create problems. Thanks for watching!

    I use soapy water as the lube for grommets and tygon tube.

    Great video. I’ve seen all sort of slimes and colors. I associate green with ethanol. I have never used iso for a lubricant. Look at brown staining differently. You help bundle things I’ve seen in the past.

      I was recently reading an Echo recall bulletin and one recommendation was using the isopropyl to lube the tank grommet for assembly.

      Never. It seems like a violent test and I'm not sure what the point is or how I would change an undesirable result.

      Some don't realize they are when they go to the pump and fill a one gallon can from a single hose dispenser and get whatever blend the last guy was pumping.

      I've been using E10 for my equipment for at least 15 years. There's been a ton of research on the effects on small engines and any equipment manufactured this century should have no issues.
      E10 can absorb 5,000 ppm of water before water separation occurs - straight gas can only handle 300 ppm. My takeaway is it's more important to use fresh gas and keep your caps tight than buy expensive fuel.

      @@mendonesiac I agree that fresh E10 stored properly for short periods of time can be ok but that often isn't the case.
