-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Hope you can help me. I appreciate your advice. I have attempted to winterize my Honda carb (with bowl) by pouring 3-4 ounces of fuel stabilizer into tank and run till empty. Then attempt to crank a few times to apparently coat carb. However, prior to this, I inadvertently left mower in garage for the last 4 weeks without running and tried the above suggestion from another moderator(AllExperts.com). What I'm getting is...it's running and smoking somewhat until the auto choke position rotates back to Non Choke position, then engine stops. I move lever to choke once again and same thing happens. The engine fails to run. Yesterday I changed oil, cleaned carb with cleaner, added new spark plug and filter. No change. I spoke to the shop who has serviced this issue the past two years. They claim over the past two yrs they have noticed an exponential increase regarding the same problem on all kinds of mowers. They attribute to the fuel that is being produced now days. They claim ethanol could be an issue and that their were no remedies except using fuel stabilizer and purchasing mid grade gas once a month. I find it hard to beleive that all mowers are experiencing this and no apparent silver bullet or perhaps bite the bullet and pay $65/yr. which I refuse. Any thoughts? Thanks agai. Steve
