Gasohol

What I have seen is the stuff evaporate in the carburetors and leave a
shelac. However I always turn off the gas and run the carbs dry. The
next season I turn the gase on, wait a few minutes, prime and pull.
They usually start on the first pull.


I would run Dad's snowblower a couple-three-four times per summer.

1. Mother's Day. Run the snowblower out in driveway. Yes, rev it up some.

2. Put in about a 1/2 quart of fresh gas. (It was run dry the last time)

3. Repeat around The 4th, again in September/October, and again before
Thanksgiving.

4. Do something else while the snowblower was running. Front "step" with a
beer often got the vote.

5. I tried all the other stuff. I liked this method best ...for the
snowblower.
(I think the idea of running the snowblower, in shorts and a t-shirt, was
the real appeal to this method)

The boat - I did the fogging oil routine, emptied the carbs and filters,
blew out the lines, sloshed the 6 gallon tanks with straight oil, etc.
