Went to the Gas Station yesterday, and filled my 5 Gallon Fuel Can with gas for the lawn equipment. Today, I was going to mow some lawn and topped off my 784. As I was filling the tank, I noticed the fuel coming out of the can "seemed" awful clear, instead of the caramel color I am accustom to. I probably put about 2.0 to 2.5 gallons in the 4 gallon fuel tank of the 784. Started the tractor up and went to mow lawn. Within 10 minutes, I noticed a slight "miss" in the engine. The miss got progressively worse, especially under load. The miss went to a "coughing condition" and the engine has lost a substantial amount of horse power. Now the exhaust looks normal.
Could that "clear" fuel that I got, be Kerosene....??? Would the conditions I am experiencing reinforce that..???
