Default Ethanol

I second Mark Richter in Mboro, however, this time of year all of the shops are busy with spring repairs (most are likely ethanol related).

Most shops now sell premixed non-ethanol 2 stroke gas. I use this for the storage periods between seasons. In the pre-ethanol days, one used to be able to drain the tank and run it dry, but the ethanol drys out the seals.

Ethanol is easily the biggest issue for boats, motorcycles and other seasonal machines

On edit... looking at the forecast, the mowers likely won't be needed for 10 days!!
