so i had put some diesel in a can i previously had used for unleaded, i was out of gas and there were a few remaining oz. it smelled like unleaded so i figured all was well.

boy was i wrong.it did turn over and started smoking like a bastard...misfiring, knocking...lol.and when i smelled the exhaust, i knew it was diesel..the blue smoke was pouring out of the lawnmower exhuast.


took weeks to fully run it out...but the toro runs fine now :)
