Fuel stabilizer
#1   Nov 4, 2009 8:31 pm
Well I went with the Honda Model HS520C for just over $1000. I live in a small place and it seemed every time I went to one of the local stores or dealers they were sold out or they got something new in. This one just came in the day I stopped by and it had an electric start so I quickly bought it.  Originally they said they'd not be able to get them in or they'd not be the electric start model.

Has anyone had any experience with the fuel stabilizer? What happens if you don't use this or is it something that should always be used?

Of course now that I have this it won't snow, right?

Sure appeciate all the replies and information. I thought I wanted just a 4-stroke, one-stage. I'm limited to its storage space. Also, we don't get a lot of snow where I live; however, there are those days!!! Also, I hav a large driveway but a small sidewalk, so it's primarily to clear away the snow on the driveway and the mess the street cleaners leave right at the end of the driveway. My driveway is cement and it's pretty much clear of any debris that would get in the blades.

Is the Toro a 2-stroke? I recall a video on YouTube of an older small Toro ploughing through snow in the woods and it was incredible. Just never wore out and really cleared the snow.

Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I'm buying a new snowblower in the smaller size for a driveway and sidewalk. Can anyone comment on the Simplicity 522E or Honda HS520C please? These are both single stage and compact for good storage.
