Thanks for the feed back. I have cheap Chinese garden multi tool that used to get through carbs about 1 every two years. A carb refurbish kit cost about £3 a new carb £6 so was not worth the effort messing with them. The last carb though must be 4 years old and runs the machine fine. I do wonder if there has been an upgrade of material to cope with the new type petrol.

Guess it 9 Ltr of E10 and 3Ltr of E5 next fill up then!
