Snow is done
 

Since my snow blower started reluctantly two days ahead of the storm and then never started the morning after, I spent a couple hours getting the shields off to even have a shot at the spark plug. New plug and some carb cleaner for good luck and she started right up. So now we won't get any more snow in this area and I'm definitely running gas out of it this spring as I usually do. The gas stabilizer wasn't the answer putting it away last year.

When ever possible, run the snowblower dry. Any time you leave ethanol gas in there you run the risk of it getting gummed up. Is is especially important twards the end of snow season

Ethanol is the worst, i run ethanol free gas in all my saws and two strokes, but usually regular gas in the mower and snow blower, but always (except this past year) run the gas out of both. Luckily we only got around 3-4” so shoveling old school wasn’t to bad.

I’ve been told an empty gas tank encourages condensation and corrosion :huh:

My Airens hasn’t been used in a few years, before this last storm I carefully removed the matching Airens cover I store it in, configured the switches for start, gave the bulb five presses and a gentile pull on the starter cord as my shoulder was injured.

Fired right up. Now back to sleep for a few more years.

Interesting
What I do for gas is
Shut the valve off under the tank and run the carburetor dry
Put it away
