Snow Blower Carb Issue

   / Snow Blower Carb Issue #11  
I'll vote for the ethanol problem. Stabil makes a $$$ product (green as I recall) for that so it tells me that the "pink" is not going to work. Years ago I started paying the extra for the premium fuel in anything running through an air-cooled engine and in my UTV. That was kind of a waste of money this summer since the ZTR was getting a re-fuel about every week but one never knows.

ETHANOL. Stay far away from regular gas unless it’s booze free. Usually hitest can be found without ethanol. I just picked up a whole brand new carb 2 weeks ago from eBay for a 2003 Toro with a Techumpsa 8 hp . $14 stuck it on and away it went. The other one is now a parts unit. Look up the PN on Jacks Small Engine then cross reference it to what fits on EBay/ Amazon. While your at it order a couple of those $3 shut offs and put one on if it doesn’t have one. Try to use it to leave the carb dry if you have to use ethanol gas.

I have way too many "infernal corn bustion" engines around the place. must be over 20. I put the seasonal spark ignition engines up at season's end with a 30:1 two stroke oil mix even if they are NOT two strokes.

Seems to work. I haven't had to tear down a carb since I revitalized the old McCulloch Mac-10
