Sunday i had a telephone conversation with a small engine guy--he has some riding mowers and i wanted to check a price--real slick john deere--price was fair but, i was just window shopping--ended up talking about small engines and their up keep and maintenance
couple of items i hadn't heard of or didn't know--wondering if anyone else has heard this
the gas stabilizer won't work with gas that has any ethanol in it--he said use seafoam and be sure to use a gas line shut off valve on anything with a carb---or run it out and drain it
another is that any of these lawn mower/tractors etc now have plastic cams in them and about 300 to 350 hrs is all u will get
i had already put shutoffs on the riders and tiller, along with inline filters, and per mr CJ have been boosting the octane to premium level(since ethyl is a thing of the past, at least at our local c store)
i am in the process of plumbing in line stops on all of our carbed vehicles--if they don't get started and run every week, it just turns into a major issue--stale gas--even with stabil added --then fouled plugs and on and on
anyway--that's all i had
