Quarterly generator run
Put in about three quarters a tank of fresh high test mixed with Stabil. Running now with a load on it until it stops.
Disappointed it took about 7 or 8 pulls to start. Sounds like the older models start up on the 2nd pull. |

I put gas in my tractor about 3 months ago (cheap 87) and it takes a bit to get it running in this weather.. If I put really fresh hi octane in it, it’d help. I’ll peobably do that after I blade my lane and get the tank down about 1/2-3/4 used up. That oughta help a bit. |

Good point Tim.
Not a lot of vehicles use high test today. Who knows how fresh it is in the big tanks. Maybe I'll ignore the dealers advice and use Stabil treated low octane. |

2:14 PMTrue North Good point Tim. Not a lot of vehicles use high test today. Who knows how fresh it is in the big tanks. Maybe I'll ignore the dealers advice and use Stabil treated low octane. ...... I’m not saying it’s bad or worthless, but I think that stabil, just keeps the gas from rotting as fast and depositing junk in the fuel system. Don’t know one way or another, but my dad would always mix a bit of 2-cycle or Marvel Mystery oil to his lawnmower gas before he parked it for the winter. |

My generator runs for 10 minutes every week, and it uses propane, which does not deteriorate like gasoline. |

Of course those are the advantages of propane generators: No deterioration of fuel over time, and the second being no carburetor clogging. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
