Needed to knock down some grass that grew knee-high by an old warehouse I own.
Pawn shop nearby had a Husqvarna mower with a Honda engine- Ought to do it.
Pawn shop dude fired it up. Sort of. Ran like crap. Barely. Made a low-ball offer to take it as is.
Brought it to the property, filled it with 100 octane Avgas. Sputtered and spit for a minute, then purred like a kitten. Has run like new ever since.
All my small equipment runs on Avgas. Zero alcohol, stays stable pretty much indefinitely.
I don't bother to drain the tanks before winter. After sitting months, they fire right up.
Some airports will sell gas to anyone, some won't.
