SENIOR TECHNICIAN & HISTORIAN
Finally got around to ordering the red Honda engine cover ,it was $16. saw a few cheaper ones but you had to be a new buyer
on the site or another cheaper one had a minimum spend of $40.

The colour on my camera must be a little out because in the images the engine cover looks a bit pinkish but
it's more a dark red.

I hadn't started the Honda trimmer for months and it started 3rd go on the starter with old fuel in the tank so it's
still running well.

One article I was reading the other day said to only use fuel that is one month old as they said at that time it's
already degrading , they were talking about fuel with mower usage a little extreme to replace your fuel every month.

Then again fuel in an unsealed mower tank that is exposed to air can degrade quicker ,in a sealed container, fuel can last a few months.

98 RON high-octane, premium fuel is all I use , the 98 if it does get left in the carby long term it's more prone to gum up
the carby than when using 91 which corrodes the inside more.

Cheers
Max
