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.

I have a 9hp Craftsman with a 28" cutting path. it did just fine, till it ate an old grill grate I forgot to toss, 2 minutes and a new shear bolt and back in business.

i waited til it was dark to start....

the driveway is around one hundred feet long and i did four passes
and did the back yard too for the dog area....as the snow drifts made traveling for her very difficult

thankfully my neighbor had pushed the snow plow barrier
off to the side
with his plow which made the job that much easier...

my ski goggles kept fogging up....
