im working on a 2100 echo power blower. the customer ran boat gas through it, so i cleaned the carb, put in a new kit, new primer bulb, new grommet with lines, new fuel filter, new spark plug, new vent cap. tried running it but wont get fuel into the primer bulb. im running out of ideas. it gets good pressure coming from the lines, when you prime it a few times and take off the fuel line, gas squirts everywhere. it just isnt filling the primer bulb

Cheese and all of the other regulars on this awesome site from days gone by; First, I hope everyone is doing well! Forgive me if this is a dead horse issue here on this site; I haven't been on in quite some time but I don't have the time to search out the issue. Secondly, I'm updating my train of thought on ethanol fuels and, more importantly, what everyone uses and/or recommends to use as a treatment-additive. Since 2009 our shop has been recommending, using, and selling Sta-Bil Marine Formula. Personally, I've been using it too since that time in my boat, snowmobiles, motorcycles (two- and four-strokers), riding & walk-behind mowers, and handheld equipment (all two-stroke) with no appreciable problems with respect to ethanol related corrosion. My opinion is that if you use the product at each and every fill-up, you will have no issues. However, many of our customers continue to come in with clear ethanol-corrosion issues with their fuel systems. Whether it's their fault in not following my directions on usage, or they have bad luck, I'm not sure. Since 2009 we here in my part of the country (northeast) and state (upstate, central New York) we have only E-10 to contend with. If and when we are forced to purchase E-15, or higher, I'm very concerned as to the effectiveness of the Marine Formula at the current dosage and if increasing the dosage - respective to the increase in percentage of additional ethanol content - will continue to be as effective as I believe it to be now, with the E-10. Please weigh in on your fuel type usage, treatment-additive usage & recommendations as well as pros and cons of all treatment-additives that you are intimately familiar with. In other words, I'd like first-hand accounts, not hearsay. I've had two distributor reps from different companies trying to sell me on the B3C Fuel products - "Mechanic In A Bottle" and "Ethanol Shield"; if you are familiar with these let me know what your opinions are. Also, another product called "Fuel Medic" is a name that pops up in conversations occasionally; fill me in on this too, for those of you familiar with this. Thanks much, Rick
