Good deal Max.....happy to hear it was nothing serious.
Happy Trails.
Thanks guys it was a crazy thing to figure out. When i took the plug out it had a little nick right on the edge so I got a new one and set the gap.Then I checked the old one and it was .008 off.Made a world of difference.The motor did'nt run that bad but that little poof drove me crazy.

Where I live, it seems like everyone sells this stuff for ethanol treatment. All the motorcycle/powersports dealers, etc. When I bought my (junk) mower a few years ago, the dealer told me to always use this.

I can buy the non ethanol gas around here, but I don't anymore. Newer fuel injected vehicles like the P500 are designed to handle 10% ethanol in the gas, so I don't worry about it. And if my weedeater croaks from the ethanol, I'll buy an electric one. haha
Purchased one to try out in my lawnmower. Thanks.
