I would say the solution is -as you have said stabil in the tank and run it till the mixed fuel is in the carb-----the problem is with the new fuel blends and the way they evaporate and leave residue--have had many problems with Suzuki sportbikes because of this--let them sit a month and your lucky if you don't have to take 4 carbs apart and clean them-my Harley will do the same after sitting 1 week ,sold a Honda sportbike 2 weeks ago to a neighbor,stored it 21 years ago with a full tank of gas,he told me last week he drained the tank and had never seen a gas tank that clean (like new) I told him I wanted that old 95 octane gas :):):)-since it was a pure product not mixed with alcohol---my nose is attuned to good fuel the way some people like to smell brandy or wine ;) another problem with alcohol blended gas ,the alcohol absorbs moisture and as it evaporates leaves water in its place --which corrodes and rust the internal carb parts,I hate alcohol blended gas as much as I do mutual fund brokers and alot of politicians
