One comment on fuel...
I have heard rumors that this modern contaminated gasoline they sell (Contaminated with alcohol) is not good for small engines.
Not sure if Honda has re-designed to burn it or not, I know some tests were done with E-15 (most of what you buy today is E-10)
Those tests were done by the folks who make Mercury Outboard Motors.
The results were not good,, All the E-15 burners showed far more wear and tear than the E-0s and one failed to complete the test.
