One other idea, depending on what you might have hanging around out in
the garage, might be to cut the old gas with paint thinner, tolulene,
acetone, etc.to raise the octane. I know you can't go out and buy it,
but if you or a neighbor has any left over from a painting project, that
might work and maybe you could barter something for it if your neighbor
has some. (Maybe he'd care to join you in some A/C for a while?) Don't
suppose you could rig a way to use the engine and belt drive from your
riding mower to spin your generator, if it will run on the old gas you
have? Just trying to think of ideas that might help.
