I've got a Snapper snow blower up for sale and just got a call on it a bit ago. I tried using it a couple of weeks ago with some bad gas in it, and it kept dying on me. Plus the fact I found out I shouldn't try running one of these again as it put a lot of cardiac stress on me. So before I called the person back, I went out and started it up. I know it's got some old gas in it, so I filled it up with some good stuff. It starts and runs. But it stopped running several times, sometimes when I pushed into some snow. Other times it would die if I tipped it back a few inches.
Is all this because of the old gas? I figure the tank has a bit better than half old gas to the new gas. I tried just letting it sit and fun, but it would take a long time to run the tank dry. And, I have no way to drain the the gas other than turning it over on its side, and I don't think the apartment complex owners would appreciate me doing that.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help.
