I Figured it took 10 years to happen. I can’t complain. Found the reason interesting. If the new one takes as long to fail I’ll be happy
Update think I might know what caused it .
seems I am missing a rubber o ring which probably let fuel seep onto the threads causing it to swell never enough to drip or pool
The replacement bowls like 100 bucks . Oh well could be worse

Ya, I only had mine for 6 or 7 years. Gotta say I love Yami 4 strokes. Bullet proof except for the VST filter, right Ray! |
No boat, back in the suds.

Ethanol is probably the stupidest idea ever and it killed many a 2 stroke yard tool of mine before I smartened up. For years I've been going to the Falmouth Airpark to buy my ethanol free gas, to run in my blower, tiller and three chain saws. It's a few bucks more a gallon, but way way cheaper than the ethanol free gas you might buy from a landscape supply and equipment store.

You can’t pull a car or boat up to the pump and in theory you should have a small plane in a hanger, call me if you want to get the heads up on getting some containers filled. I usually time a golf round in the area and bring a 2-1/2 gallon jug with me. |
