Drained the gas out of my single stage snowblowers and then ran them dry for the end of the season. The powerlite was running erratically because it had basically no gas at all (the tank shape makes it easy to siphon everything bone dry) whereas the Power Clear 221QR ran longer than expected because its hard to get all the gas out of the tank. At the very end (right before I ran out of space on my DV tape) I started the big 726te (two stroke) and it fired for a second before coughing out (it also had NO gas). It is important to do this at the end of the season with all of your power equipment to prevent the carburetors and fuel lines from gumming up.
