Hi David,
I've always used a product called Stabil (at least I think that's how to spell it).

It occurred in the spring immediately after I brought my mower out of winter storage. The service person who checked my mower told me it was old gas. He drained and replaced the gas and the mower has been running well ever since. I might have forgotten to put an additive in the gas when I stored it for the winter. I never forget this anymore.

This must be a tell tale sign of a specific issue... anyone know what it is? thermometer? clogged primer? need a new motor? thanks, david [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ---------------------------------------------------------- Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.441 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/3046 - Release Date: 08/02/10 17:59:00 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
