I wondered how old the gas in the mower's can was.
I could not remember when we'd last bought ethanol-free mower gas.
That's usually a good indicator that it's been more than a year.
So I dumped it into the "firepit" gas jug and headed to the local Wawa and got me two new gallons.
When I go home, I realized that the gas in the mower was from that same old batch...
So I dumped it out and it was piss yellow.
Fresh gas added to the mower, I decided to run it for a bit to make sure the old gas was moved out of the bowl and carb.
That "run it for a bit" turned out to be me mowing the back yard.
A regular shake-down test.
When I had it apart I also adjusted the magneto to have the correct spacing.
Now it doesn't bog down in the one section of thick grass that never dries!
It also no longer surges.
I'm very happy with this small accomplishment!
