    85 hp yamaha 2 stroke not cranking when cold out side.

    OK folks you continue to keep using E10 in small engines without treating the gas and I will continue to use Top Tier non-Ethanol in mine. Even my farmer friends know better, one goes to town and fills his gas cans and tanks with premium non Ethanol gas for use in his small equipment and gas...

His lawnmower, snow blower etc repair shop says if it wasn't for the stupid homeowners using it they would be out of business. I don't buy or use it except in my car or pickup so I would...

    I do not know where you live but Never Ethanol gas in any small engine it can screw up the carburetor in as little as three months. Premium gas holds its octane rating over time as well as Stabil always in gas that is stored for long time over 3 or 4 months. Old gas will affect the starting...

    Yamaha ignition coils

    Yamaha ignition coils

    They make a special meter attachment for doing that checking on the engine and I do not know that answer. Maybe someone who is more experienced than me can clue you in.

    Yamaha ignition coils

    Before I went off on a chase, I would remove all the old fuel and then replace the fuel filter, then all new gas no Ethanol and I use premium with stabil added but do whatever. Can gas go bad in a week? Yeah if you have water, rust or bad gas to start with in the tank.
