Sold it and bought a John Deere and never looked back.

Honda engine here, on a commercial grade walk behind snapper...I installed an inline motorcycle filter. I've noticed the float bowl has a drain plug, but never had to use it. I also turn off the fuel to the carb after every mowing, let the carb run dry... So far, so good...no problems. Contaminated fuel in the float can cause problems...
