Re: [AMC-list] Can't start the lawnmower, the leaf blower, the leaf mulcher, ...

Get some "Sta-bil" from the auto parts store and add a little to you lawn equipment gas at the end of the season. It will preserve gas for up to two years. You'd think the gas companies would use such an additive, but they don't store it more than 2-3 months tops, and most people burn it out in a week, so it would just add to the cost in the end for nothing.

Must be the gas. I finally got the leaf blower running, but it would
not go full out, just an irritating slow idle. It would have been
quicker to use a rake. The lawn mower would go for about a second,
then just stall. The mulcher just sat there. I pulled and cleaned
plugs.

So - time to drain and use fresh gas. Or have a Black and Tan. They're
pretty good!
