only have two gas powered tools and apparently i do not follow best

also seems that i used gas oil mix for two strokes in the four stroke

might explain the greenish buildup i found in the carb float

found a fellow online that separates the ethanol out since his goldwing
does not like ethanol

seems like a lot trouble to go to though

As is replacing all the fuel lines made of rubber and rebuilding the
carburetion system with gaskets that are good with alcohol, otherwise
the gas just leaks out all over.
