Ethanol kills small engines.
When storing, run engine dry with a small amount of carbmaster then if
it's a metal tank fill to the top with a with the gas mix, prevents rust, with a plastic tank drain it completely.

My snowblower/lawn repairman is recommending a higher than 87 octane also on all lawn and outdoor equipment. Apparently most of the companies have recommended the change due to the changes in gas lately. Something to do with the lack of lubricants (in the 87 test gas ) affecting the plastic and rubber parts in these engines.
