The hemi actually goes in ALOT of the 2500s too you know
Premium has isn't as important I'm small engines as ETHANOL FREE is. Who likes replacing primer bulbs and fuel lines every other year?

Anywho, worked on the mower a little, got it to start right up and run good. Took it to where I needed to finish mowing and it won't start.
Cleaned, the spark plug, which was black, cleaned the air filter, no dirt down in the bowl, did see some metal shavings below the top cover that holds the pull string, didn't see anything wrong, don't have a puller to do a good inspection though...

I've been adding Star-Tron (ethanol treatment) to my gas for my yard equipment for years, and since I started I've never had any issues, but yeah if you can get ethanol free that's even better...
I used that stuff for a little while, saw your post about it somewhere on here. Now the pure station opened back up so I go there

I can get Ethanol Free Gasoline in town for a nickel or so more than the cheap stuff. But I don't think that will solve my lawn mower issues...
The truck likes pure gas though

all my vehicles and small engines get the ethanol free premium. i will even pump $20 of gas into my truck before i put the nozzle in my Jerry can to pump gas for my lawn equipment.
Besides, they'd miss out on all the minorities buying their cars.
you should really run premium in it. with how little gas a lawn mower uses each year you would not notice the difference in price. i know my lawnmower started 2nd pull this year but last year was the first year we started running premium. other years i would have to tear the float bowl off the carb to get it started.
I use Seafoam AT LEAST once a year in my lawn mower since I used it to clear up a hard start issue. Runs like new. But I DO have to replace the priming bulb as it is torn.
Husqvarna has gone down in quality since they started selling them at big box stores.
We use Echo. Got an Echo CS-400 chain saw and a PAS-260 split shaft powerhead that currently has a cultivator on it. The Echo engines are just explosive. It's great.
