In the spring they start right up.
Why are you so up tight about this?

--Vic ( A laid back dude)-

I'm guessing you live in an area where you can buy pure gas. I've
spent several hundred fixing engines. I also used to fly for a sea
plane operation that really appreciated being able to buy gas at the
doc. But you're right. I can't change the fuel standards so I should
just relax about it. I was concerned about boat maintenance in that
regard though.

It's all 10% ethanol here. *Hey, I was more joking than anything, so I
won't recommend to not use Stabil. *I feel guilty about not using it,
more from plain laziness than anything. *The mower is a 5 year old
Sears/Honda 4-stroke engine and the whacker a 3 year old Sears 80-100
buck something or other 2-cycle. *Maybe I've been lucky and it'll
catch up to me this year. *I'll know in about a month when I fire them
up.

My weedeater and blower never get Stabil, and they work fine. My
riding mower, however, likes to have Stabil put in it in the fall, as
does my 135hp Evinrude.
