About twelve years ago, I bought a cottage that had been un-used for about ten years. The elderly owner had passed, and his kids sold it to me.There was a gas lawnmower in the shed when I bought the cottage. It started about third pull with the old gas in it. That was before they started putting ethanol in gasoline. I used regular gasoline with ethanol in it to cut the lawn, and the next two springs, I had to pull the carb off the lawnmower to get it running. Since then I learned to use only ethanol free premium gas in all my small engines, or anything that will sit. I also use Stabil, and have never had to pull a carb off anything in years. I saw what my friends boat carb looked like when they pulled the fuel filter out of it. The filter was full of gelled fuel from the ethanol.
