Go out to your local airport, general aviation, and bring a a couple 2
gal gas cam and purchase 2 gals of 100LL avgas.
Drain out your snowblower gas, put it in the car. Then put in about a
pint or so of 100LL and run the machine until it's running on the LL,
should be about 5 mins or so. DONE
It will start as if you didn't store it at all. This same proceedure
can be used in all small engines including those using pre mix. With
premix make sure it mixes well before use.
