From the age of 14-16 ( late sixties) I worked at an AMOCO station, except for a couple of short gas wars the price stayed the same, 29.9 regular and 35.9 for unleaded premium. That was a penny higher on premium than Texaco and ESSO and most brands. Sunoco 250 and 260 were a penny at each step higher.
We had a lot of customers that came for the “white gas”, (unleaded premium).
We called gas regular and high test.

Did you work at the station in Elizabeth City?

Our local station was an Esso, and was 29.9. But I used to go to the Amoco to buy the "white gas" to carry in an aluminum bottle to fuel my backpacking stove...it was a Svea.

Oops... hit post before I was done...

Don, my Craftsman had a problem with the seat safety switch, just wouldn't make contact. I removed it from the seat, put a small block of wood and compressed the switch.... then duct taped it tight...

It's been that way for 4-5 years now... never had another problem with it.

Another thing to check would be if the transmission is free... you may be able to reach under and turn the pulley on the tranny (Not when running). Is it a hydro or gear tranny?

I jumpered past a faulty switch on my husqvarna.

Now that you got me thinking of it it is probably the kill switch to the clutch. It does not sound or feel like a bog down from a clutch. It is not a hst it is at least 10 years old gear model, probably belt clutch.
Now how do I fix it? It does work when I depress the clutch and lets the motor start but the releasing of the clutch activated the kill.

Probably seat switch, it thinks you aren’t sitting in seat so pto switch engaged kills it.

Full service, S&H, and we had Gold Bond. I was partial to going to the Sunoco station when young as it had cheapest gas, 180 or 190 I think it was called.

We had both of them too. Down in Alabama they also had plaid stamps, picture of dude in a kilt on the signs.
