    Busch light, what Brian drinks, is mostly water anyways. Maybe eatonpcat should switch to whiskey or bourbon? You could try tequila if you want.

    It might be possible you bought E 85 by mistake last time. If the carburetor has some junk in it, that and/or the E85 could cause it to be lean enough to where one side wouldn’t fire.
    Don’t make that mistake with chainsaws, just saying.

    Some call it snake oil, but I’ve had great luck with Seafoam in a half dozen Honda small engines

    Tanks at the station can get water in them also. It is possible to get bad gas! I mean tanks at station are just bigger versions of your 5 gallon gas tanks. This state requires they get pulled up and inspected every 25 years.
