Anyone have thoughts or opinions on this?

I got a new 10 HP snow blower in Jan. Instructions say to drain it
and run it till it quits. Good enough for me but it is still on my
"to-do" list.

I also normally drain all my small engines but particularly any with a
2-cycle engine. The few times I didn't do it, I had problems the next
time I tried to use them.

Once I had to replace the gas tank as it had basically rotted out.
That was the first year I tried Stabil. Dunno if it was the stabil or
just old age.
