Happy holidays every one! ... bought the toro 1028 OXE back in October, right after the very first early snow storm. Was not able to try it in snow... I added the startron stabilizer And filled up the tank with 93 octane. I tested the new baby, showed off without spinning augers... But now it's a long time unused. My question is: is it okay for the fuel to sit in the carb for such a long time? Thanks!

ralphfr,

   Google Tecumseh 27136A and you'll get scads of places and prices.  When I got mine they seemed impossible to put on and if I ever managed to get it on would never work right.  It turned out they are easy to install and work fine.  With a flat head screwdriver pushing the button and a cup it makes a no mess drain of the bowl ease.

hey trouts,,

have u had good luck with the drians in the carb???.... because i havent any luck with them..lve had alot of them leak fuel and have had alot of compliants by customers....and have stopped using them as of recently.... they make sense for sure and serve as a very usefull idea....the problem i think that happens is when u drian some old fuel out the little bit of dirt thats in the bottom of the bowl comes out aswell of course as designed... the drawback is that dirt sticks to the drian valve and causes a fuel leak...

  I have not had a problem with leaks.  Maybe I've been lucky.
