My experience, others may have different results. Have an old lawnmower, Tecumseh engine. It sat for 9 years with pump gas in it, didn't need it while living in apartment. When I moved to rural house I decided to give it a try. Fired right up on first pull, never skipped a beat. Sits in dry shed, wood floor, dig it out once or twice a year. 1952 Allis Chalmers tractor with loader. It has to sit outside. Main use is for plowing snow, but some lifting/pulling etc all year, sometimes sits for 2-3 months. In warm weather it starts on first spin, no choke. Below 30* it takes 3-4 spins, play with choke 30 seconds or so, then smooths out. . Checked sparkie plugs yesterday, a bit sooty. They have been in 4 1/2 years or longer, so put in new ones. Will see if it helps next time it snows. 1971 JD garden tractor, Kohler power. Main use is mowing, also snow blower for sidewalks etc. Starts & runs same as it did 30 years ago. Have been buying pump gas, 10 gal at a time, maybe just lucky. No Stabil or other additives used. Willie

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
