Not sure at this point if my T-1770 Kubota had a Honda engine too. See above post. Of course, before this incident, I never used any sort of gas stabilizers on my cars or lawn equipment because every month in the winter, I would just fire them up and run them for the hell of it. Looks wierd when the neighbour sees me fire my lawn mower up after it has snowed but I do it on the first of the month.
