Just blowing compressed air through the carb's orifices, jets, and barrel may not have eliminated your fuel problem. There is a good chance that the main jet is partially blocked. You could invest in some carb cleaner, disassemble the carb and clean it thoroughly. I use a gallon can of Berryman's and soak all metal parts for a few hours.
Your easiest solution would be to buy a new carb and install it. If you later run into someone that will clean the carb or has the correct cleaner, you could service it and have a standby.
I've used all the usual gas storage "snake oils", including red Stabil, and didn't notice too much difference other than Sea Foam tends to clean things better. Yes, filling the tank with the Stabilizer, to the top, will prevent oxidation of the gas in the tank.
yes a new carb I think is the answer and for the price its probably the only way to go.
thanks
