I bought an old(1977) Simplicity Snowblower because it could throw snow farther than anything else ever made.
However, it had an old Briggs & Stratton engine with a downdraft carb.
It did not run well on unleaded, even super. So, I started buying 110 octane leaded racing fuel at Haffner’s here in NH.
It ran great on that, BUT every time I used it my clothes STANK so much from the exhaust from burning that fuel. Not to mention it probably was not good for me to breath!

If there are some marinas near by, they usually have the non-alcohol gasoline since a lot of boats dont run well on the fuels with alcohol added..
Ethanol gas used to destroy carburetor gaskets and cause all kinds of problem.
