[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 315600, member: 10"] REALLY - Dump the old 2 cycle gas on weeds? DO NOT DO THIS - where do you think that gas and oil ends up eventually? - IN your water! Use the old gas in less ryticial equipment (I use mine in my 2 cycle weed wacker) or take it to a proper facility to recycle (call your local government if you do not know or ask at a service station) Things to avoid doing: 1. Never run your motor without water - either muffs clamped on the water intake or actually in the water 2. Always make sure your gas is mixed with the proper amount of 2 stroke oil. No need for perfection but if you err in teh mixture ALWAYS err on the side of a little more oil. 3. Do change your spark plug(s) 4. Carry a good plug with you "just in case" 5. Do grease your trailer bearings often I will let some of our members join in with added tips [/QUOTE]
