Re: Time to get rid of this money pit
I raise corn and I agree with truckster as he is spot on about the ethanol blend. I have a store that fixes small engines also and 80 percent of the work performed is gas related. My small engine mechanic has proved it to me unfortunately.
If you don't have a station close that sells non ethanol gas only buy the higher octane blend as it has less ethanol than the 87 octane.
It's a good thing their is not a farmer union or I just would have been kicked out but it's true. Small engines and older auto engines don't like the corrosive and jelly reaction that ethanol causes on the metals of carbs and such.
