A little up date on the Powerhouse engine. Went to use it yesterday and even though I had drained the gas before storing it last year. Couldn't get gas into the carb. What ever they use for rubber to make the hoses is junk. Also all of the vent lines had cracked. Removed all the EPA crap and tossed in in the trash can. Pulled the float bowl off, spotless inside. Removed the float and needle blew it out and a chunk of hose came out. New hoses and back in biz. Gotta get an in line shut off because the one on the bottom of the tank is not completely shutting off.
Got it up and running then mowed some stuff that was to wet, tall and heavy for the Supers to deal with. This thing is evil, I had about 6 stumps that stuck up about 3", they were a PITA to deal with when using the Supers, now they are only about 1" tall. Granted they were pretty rotten but it did the job of a stump grinder.
