can I burn snowblower gas in my car?

Monday, June 30th, 2008
old beatnik asked:


I have a little less than one gallon of snowblower gas with 2 cycle oil in it. Can I burn this in my station wagon? It has a 12 gal tank to dilute the snowblower gas. I will be going on a 350 mile trip this weekend, so it would be used in less than 6 hrs.

Engine swap for Old Ariens snowblower?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
vintagejm asked:


I am looking to swap the engine on my old Ariens snowblower (70’s). I think it is a 5 horse Tecumseh and am looking to swap it with Tecumseh HSSK50-67418 5 H.P. Snow King Snow Blower Engine. How hard and will this work? Also, are there any other engines that would be EASIER to swap with (no modifications necessary). Thanks.
Which engine did you end up going with?
