I guess this is were this post is suppost to go. So here is my question. And a little FYI. I just paid eighty dollars to get my ice auger fix. It just wouldn't start. Until the Tenth or twelveth pull. Well in talking with the man who fixed it . It seems the ethonal(not sure of spelling) added to the gas. Causes moisture and gums up the float in the carb. So he suggested using 91 octain with a good stabilizer in the gas after the mixing of the oil. He said Briggs and Straton makes one that works really great. To reduce the moisture, That is created from the ethonal. So my question is do you leave the gas in the ice auger over the summer, or do you drain the gas out. I am not to sure. Which is better. What do you guys think
