A lot of these small engines get flakes of varnish coming off in the carb float when ethanol tainted gas sits in them over winter. Clogs everything up and you basically need a new carb. Say no to ethanol in small engines. My neighbor has a small engine repair shop and he said that's 90% of his work now and he praises the lords of corn subsidies.
For something you expect to only use a couple times a year, how about a lead-sled electric conversion and a battery tender?
