I actually put my snowblower up properly last spring-changed oil, new plug, oil in the cylinder, etc. I didn't drain the gas because it had stabilizer in it and I thought that it would be OK for six months.
I tried starting it yesterday and no go. Never even a sputter. I pulled the plug and it had the tell-tale smell of turpetine, which I believe means the gas was too old.
What do I need to do the get the beast running before the snow flies? PS-its an old Ariens, with a carburator. I'm pretty sure it pre-dates electronic ignition.
