Go new or repair snow blower?

[ProfessorM]

just dropped mine off a hour ago. Ariens dealer in Norton. He does good work. Mine is 1989 model and I am not buying another. I would have it fixed. I did look at the new ones and they are sweet but I did not ask what they cost.

Go to a marine store that carries Johnson Evinrude additives and get the 2+4 fuel conditioner. I run it in my outboard and never have any problems. My snowblower started coughing and spitting a little and then stalled so I put some in the tank and it smoothed right out. The ethanol is crap, I just replaced a carb on a 1 1/2 year old echo string trimmer, and found out that the small engine folks are not warranting carbs any more.
