    "Supposedly, canned gas is okay for storage in the machine. In my case, it can be several weeks between use."

    Son showed up yesterday and we needed to cut some blocks off a log. Grabbed one of the ECHO 4600's off the shelf, flipped the switch, choked it, and it started after 6 pulls. Not sure the last time I had it started but most certainly 6-7 months. Just add STABIL to your 91 octane mixed fuel and it'll be fine.

    I run all 40 volt Ryobi stuff, no carbs to foul same battery for trimmer, blower, cultivator, pole saw etc.

    I have a big bottle of Sta-Bil that has been on the shelf for many years. It even has a lot of dust on it. I wonder if it has a shelf life?

    Hmmm....does Sta-Bil need a stabilizer if you're keeping it for several years? If so, does putting Sta-Bil in the Sta-Bil solve the problem?

    You must destabilize it before you can restabilize it. Or maybe I am confused with keeping horses. 😁

    I use a Kobalt 40v trimmer and pole saw. The battery lasts longer than I do, gives me an excuse to stop and drink a cold one in the summer. I cleared both sides of a shooting lane at one of my deer stands with the pole saw, then the battery was fully charged in less than an hour. The cheap pole saws didn't have an oiler for the chain.

    Edited to reflect a voltage increase! (not a 20 volt)
