Do you?
Original Message Jan 20, 2005 12:11 pm

a) when shutting off the blower (for the day, not the season), first turn off the gas so the gas in the carb is expended?

b) if no primer bulb, when starting, do anything other than placing throttle on high and opening the choke?

Thanx.

(BTW, 2 - 3 inches in boston which i moved (easily) w/ the jacobsen snowburst as i flooded the toro 826.)

I was talking with a local repair guy, and he said he tried running a tractor dry one time and it ruined the fuel pump. Apparently that was his first tank that he had ran dry. He'll never do it again, and I don't blame him.
