Thanks Moe,<br>
Why will the engine restart when hot with choke after it dies? Any
thoughts? I'll check the exhaust port tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Thank-you,<br>

my lovely wife was out blowing leaves the other day with my
backpack<br>
blower, and it ran out of fuel. She mistakenly filled it
with straight<br>
lawnmower gas, and after a bit it started to stumble and
then quit. She<br>
came in to tell me about it and ask what the problem was.
When I looked<br>
at the tank I noticed there was no blue tint in the gas, and
I asked her<br>
what can she filled it from, and she pointed to the gas
container I use<br>
for my zero turn. I told her that was straight gas, and she
needed to<br>
use the 2 cycle mix, that is in another red 5 gallon can,
honest<br>
mistake. She claims I told her to use that fuel, when I know
I did not. <br>
I used it today and it will run for about 5 minutes and then
sputter out<br>
and die, like it's running out of gas. It will restart, but
then the<br>
same scenario starts all over again. Is their any chance of
saving this<br>
engine? Maybe a higher oil/gas ratio? Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
