I'd be suspicious about the premium fuel claim. The only difference in most premium fuels is higher octane, which actually makes the gas HARDER to ignite. There are actually small engine manufacturers that say NOT to use a high-octane fuel. I had a friend put premium fuel in his lawnmower, whereupon it became difficult to start until that tankful was used up. Some gas suppliers were advertising that their premium fuels had "fuel injector cleaner" in it, but I doubt that would be beneficial to a carubureted engine.
