If you look right by the FPR - there should be a small grey wire with a male spade connector. Jumper that to the power dist box right above it.

run power to the grey lead coming out of the harness right behind the intake next to the dist on the right side.

Run it threw the lawnmower, snow blower or through a daily driver. 2 years isn't that bad, I have some 5 year that I drain out of my Corvette (I drained my Corvette after 2 years thinking it would need to be drained but it didn't make that much of difference, but I didn't drive the car for another year so it need to be done). It has taken me three year to run it through my lawn mower and snow blower. Its get a little hard to start the lawn mower, but I am on my last tank ful:)

If you can, I would run your Typhoon tank low and fill it up with fresh gas.

Yeh, 2 yrs ain't bad. I just dump alot of fresh on top of it. Hopefully it didn't F up your Walbro if U have one because I've heard that can happen when it sits there 4 awhile.

well i drained it yesterday and i saw the first gallon or so, had a yellowish tint to it. but after that gallon the gas was perfectly clear. i drained it all out and put some fresh stuff in and it really helped. the truck ran alot better.
