electric start kit for honda?
Original Message   Dec 6, 2008 11:56 am
Maybe one of you guys can help me? I have a honda 520 single stage snowblower and I was wondering if you can buy and install the electric start kit? You can buy a 520 with electric start but I didn't know if you can convert a manual one over.

Thanks, Coldfingers

Its been like that since it was new as best as I can remember. I've had it three years, I always have used stabil in the gas but maybe it is gummed up like you say as it hasn't been used a lot, probably two tanks a winter as I have a bigger machine also. They do run cheap on gas, it only holds .3 tenths of a gallon and I thought I read that it will run 1.5 hrs. on that, wow!

I don't know if the ethanol is going to help or hurt these engines.  Does any one know if there's less of it in the premium gas?  I always run premium in my yard equipment,  I think its like an extra 10 bucks a year for me If I count Summer and Winter.
