Down here in Kansas, I only cut in the winter but same storage rules apply nonetheless.Empty tank as much as possible then let it idle till it dies, pull starter rope slowly a few times afterward with on/off switch off. Looks like 2009 was a decent year for you. You hit it out of the park with your first saw ever. Congrats. REJ2
how'd you come up with that recipe or you pullin my chain. sounds like you have it figured out. i might have to try that sometime. thanksDo what you want to make YOU happy. We have 18 work saws and they stay fueled up and ready to run on a moments notice 365 days a year. Never know when wind or storms will cause damage and they will be needed.
I do run a family recipe of mix and have had no problems in 40 years and have never had a saw to stop or show any damage from the fuel or from leaving mix in them.
I make up 10 gals at a time. 9gals. 2 quarts of AV fuel one quart of diesel and one quart of Seafoam. It stays in the saws and in the mix jug till it's gone. Also run it in all 2 strokes. We run AV fuel in all other small engines mowers, splitter and such. They start anytime hot or cold and run just fine.
You will here all sorts of comments on this subject I'm just telling what works for us.

You sure you aint from KY? I never story to my saws.... maybe to my wife.... we heck yeah, I have to story to her out of necessity, but never to my saws! But I prep 'em with some Stabil so they are ready to go at a moments notice. Hmmmm, maybe I'll slip a lil' Stabil in the wife's wine........:jawdrop: What ya think?????

So you don't mix 2 stroke oil in with your mix?
