Been over 30 years 'round here... Iowa had "Gasohol" at the pump in the late 70s.
Well... this is about more than just yesteryear's chainsaws, it's about the use of ethanol blended gas in OPE of all sorts.
Ethanol has a corrosive effect on plastic, rubbers, and most importantly metals... meaning any OPE with a carburetor, of any vintage, is equally susceptible. I don't know where you get the idea manufacturers can build around the effects of ethanol... what would you suggest they use for material?? Auto makers have limited the effects with computer controlled, high pressure, multi-port fuel injection systems... but I don't believe a homeowner wants to pay $13,000 for a lawn mower, nor would he like pushing all the extra weight around.
I didn't read (or post) where tree-huggers are to blame
I pretty much said they're victims of the scam... partly due to their own naivety.
Unhappy?? Engine rebuilders?? When were those comments made??
Bias??
Who's being bias??
And beliefs?? It certainly ain't about belief
Heck man, I read more
biased beliefs in your post than I have in any other in this thread.
