Curious, did you use gas pre-mix 50:1, or those cans stores sell for $9.99 that are mixed?

I ask because I bought one of those premix cans from C.tire in July for my Husky 55, filled tank,

started cutting for approx. 30secs & all of a sudden the engine got hot, heavy sounding and signs of

a piston seizing were present. Shut off, pulled plug, sure enough, plug was very white. I sprayed

WD40 into hole & slowly cycled piston, let it sit & cool. Dumped the premix, mixed up a fresh batch of

regular gas oil, fired right up and has been fine ever since. So i don't buy those premix cans from CT,
only from a authorized Husky dealer now!
