But yes, run that **** threw your mower. Those things never seem to care.

Re: Old gas now missfiring
You need to either make or buy a leak down tester... You pressurize the cylinder with compressed air and turn the cam until all valves are closed... The guage will measure the amount of loss. You then listen at the intake,exhaust, and crank for the hissing sound... That is where you are losing compression. You can use seafoam on a dripper and let the intake slowly suck it in, but doing too much at once may ruin your piston rings if it's a higher mileage motor. You can also try adjusting your valve lash

Do you think if too much carbon is build up compression test would fail? Would seafoam work?
