Drain it and fill with 2 stroke mix. Run it a bit and store over winter. Never had any issues with Stabil. Use it year-round. Never have to remember how old my fuel is.

Never a concern about getting all the break-in metal out. Every new or rebuilt engine will have a ton of metal flake in the sump.

Those tariffs haven't kicked in yet?? Let me make a couple calls. Was told we were all going to be rich soon.

Finally a mention about where all this starts at. Do you have an old gas can with an open spout? Or a new can with the EPA struggle your azz off trying to fill a mower up spout?

Makes total sense. Funny thing is when they DID have it on the shelf, my store was a gamble if they had any left or not. Usually had to go on the weekday and get some. Weekends the shelves get raped.

Just pull the carb inlet hose. Drain into a glass jar. Look for water in the bottom. If the tank is full get a can ready to take the excess. Dump carb bowl. Blow carb body out with shop air and SAFETY GLASSES.

Agree with Star. Warranty the sucker. Or pull the battery and test at an auto parts store for free. Maybe just a bad one. These mowers can sit for months on end with no charger till they sell.

And push rod lengths.

I would pull the tank and carb. Hit the tank with rust converter, primer then paint externally. Internally do the motorcycle cream liners to seal it up. Keep the carb clean. Getting at those parts and many more for that excellent engine are no longer made. Same for the muffler, converter, prime...
