Definitely not a problem with the hoses. They look great when I pulled one to drain the tank so I wouldn't lose any more gas. It's no older than 15 years, probably closer to 13. We lived in a warmer climate prior to that.
I used to run the machine dry but I see mixed comments on if this should...
There's definitely a leak.
It started right up this morning, but pretty quickly started to sputter. I put more gas in it and for some reason it wouldn't start. I thought maybe I flooded it so I let it sit a couple hours. I just went back to it and the tank is empty. There's a puddle underneath...
That's what I was thinking as well, that maybe the cap wasn't on tight enough, but I'm quite sure it was. Let's say it wasn't - would the gas evaporate that fast?
Hey all -
I'm a bit baffled by something, and you lot are a knowledgeable group so I put the question to you. Maybe someone has some thoughts.
To avoid an unnecessary wall of text, here are some factoids:
- Around Nov 15th I pulled the snow blower out of storage.
- It already had some gas...
