mower not run in 2 yrs
My toro self propelled push mower is rarely used as I have a rider. I
usually use stabil in it and have good luck starting it even after a year of nonuse. However, last year I did NOT put the stabil in and now the mower won't start. Is there something I can pour in the fuel tank and let it sit for several days that would alleviate my bad fuel problem enough to get it started? |

no, I know of no product that will change stale gas to good gas. You need
to flush of the old gas out of thecarb and depending on how bad it is it may need a kit / cleaned. |

pour gas in the carb and keep on pulling. You may tip it on its side to
get the gas to get in the chamber. "John" wrote in message ... My toro self propelled push mower is rarely used as I have a rider.

You might need to disassemble the carb and check to see if the float is
stuck. I had the same problem with mine recently after I had stored it for a year. The float was stuck by crystalization. I had to clean the carb and get a new float, pin, and rod.
