Bontz Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 If it makes you feel any better Jim .. I received it, too. And I haven't burned down my garage or house from the handful of times I've started my sled this summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Kivalo Posted August 30, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted August 30, 2022 I got it too. If its caused by degraded fuel then 1: why is only Axyis/Maytrix models and 2: why don't other Manu's have the same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, ESD should have the ability to spark any fume regardless of fresh or old gas. At least one would think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Seems odd that is would be degraded fuel. Isn’t fresh fuel more volatile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Probably a rubber seal on top of the tank that’s slowly failing letting vapors escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
