Just thought I would share. At the end of every summer, I put STABIL fuel storage stabilizer into my lawnmower's Honda GCV160 engine's fuel tank. I then turn the fuel valve to OFF and run the engine until it dies. Normally, this keeps everything working until the next lawn season.
This year, for some reason this approach didn't work. The lawnmower gagged and died repeatedly. I bought a new carburator thinking it needed replacing. Then yesterday, BRAIN FLASH, I thought about two bottles of Gumout fuel system treatment I had sitting on the shelf.
So......I placed a larger than usual amount of Gumout fuel system treatment into the engine's fuel tank and fired that mother up! Ran it for about ten minutes and VOILA! lawnmower now runs like a NEW sewing machine! Gumout saved me two to four hours labor replacing the carburator!
Gumout was developed during WWII to keep our tanks and jeeps engines from gagging after the long trip by ship to europe. Amazing stuff!
