Go to CS 400 Echo running rough.

[alleyyooper]

My little CS 400 Echo is my go to saw for what ever short of a 30 inch oak it seems.
the other day I grabbed it after it sitting a week and a half to trim a limb off a apple tree. Ran but not so auto good at all.

I had heard about this stuff called Fuel fix in a can, so bought a can. Instructions say to empty any thing in the tank out and fill the tank with fuel fix. Prime the carb even pull it over a couple times and let it set for 24 hours then use it like normal.

I followed the directions and started it up the afternoon about 30 hours. It ran way better than it was before and by the time I had ran that tank of fuel out it was running normal again.

I think it is good stuff for fixing my saw, with out wrenching.

Yes I use non ethnol fuel sold as REC FUEL at the station.

I'm assuming you added 2t oil to it?

 

[clemsonfor]

Hopefully not too much alcohol either , that can cause cylinder temps to run high.

I agree about adding oil to it!!!

Mechanic in the bottle was probably cheaper. We've used it on a motorcycle once and it worked great.

If you mix 1 oz of seafoam per gallon of your premix it will keep the crud cleaned out of your fuel system. I have been doing it for years and I only use non ethonol fuel.

Sorry wrong picture above. Same size bottle comes premixed at 40:1 ratio.

I'm now confused. The "Mechanic in a Bottle" product is completely different from the VP brand pre-mix. Which one fixed your saw?

Do they make two stroke bottle fuel with the MIAB additive included? Maybe that's the one he used?

 

[alleyyooper]

He used the stuff pictured in the second can. It is a 2 stroke fuel fix at 40:1 ratio.

Did he follow the "fill, prime, let set 24 hours" regimen or just replace the fuel and fire it up to better results?

 

[alleyyooper]

Followed directions on the can. He knows how to read.

So, for all of us who don't have the can so can't follow the directions the answer would appear to be "replaced junk fuel with better fuel, saw now runs"?

Just as a note here: It looks like the Fix It Fuel product is a pre-mix at 50:1.
