I left old gas in my edgers from last Fall and they would not start to save my life. Put in some fresh Ethanol free gas with a cap full of sea foam and both started on the first try.

Use Fresh Gas….. Do not be dumb like me.

How many tanks do you run through your edger a year? Might look at using TrueFuel in it. I run maybe 2 tanks through my weedeater ever year (I need to go electric) and I've never had a problem. I started it for the first time last week and it ran fine with fuel that'd been in it since October.

Same, mine started on the third crank.


Sta bil, 93 octane Conoco or Marathon Gas, and Synthetic oil.

I'm still using an echo trimmier that I bought in 2003. The only thing that I have ever used in it is regular gas. Fresh gas is somewhat important. Ethanol free is not. You shouldn't leave any type of gas, especially gas with 2-stroke oil mixed in, sitting in an edger or other gas-powered tool for months.

Fresh gas, don’t use cheap two stroke additives. Use the echo brand.

I use premium gas.
