    That white deposit at 10:52 has me really curious! I would have saved that and put the fuel tank contents through a coffee filter and done some experimenting to try and figure out what it was. I’d also have grilled the customer to pinpoint exactly what went into the tank and how long ago. 18+ months of watching thousands of TH-cam small engine videos and that’s the first one I’ve seen like that.

    That ran great especially after the white substance. I've never used seafoam. Thinking I might try it 🤔.

      I like it a lot. It does have some fuel stabilizing qualities, but I use it more as a fuel system cleaner than a stabilizer.

    Really interesting, never seen white like that before. Had to been an additive and wayyy to much. More than plain ethanol. Maybe staybihl and cleaner. Will be watching. Take care.

      It was weird for sure. Haven't seen that before. Ethanol is the mortal enemy to small engines. Terrible for carbs. Ethanol that sits for a while absorbs the moisture from the air and makes white gel in the bowl plugging up jets . It does not usually give many problems on vehicles, because the fuel gets used and filled with fresh fuel MUCH more often than in a snow blower or generator.

    Good day Random Boy interesting video. So will all vehicles have that soot stuff in . What about cars truck.
    Did stabilizer have something to do with it?
    how do u know it was 75.9% lol
    what does sea foam do?
    Thanks for now Do u think other machine has same gas problem.

      I'm pretty sure this machine was way overdosed with that red Sta-bil fuel stabilizer, then sat so long everything dried up in the tank. (I dont like that stuff at all) Seafoam is a cleaner and a fuel stabilizer that I use in everything. I have good results with it. I even throw a can in my truck tank every couple months. Usually a surging engine has a restriction or clog in the pilot circuit. Sometimes cleaning fixes it, sometimes drilling out the pilot jet is the 100% cure. The 75.9% throttle was properly measured with my NASA specially calibrated micrometer right eye. 😜
