Do a fuel system tuneup. Carb cleanout, fuel filter replacement, check
condition of fuel lines, tighten hose clamps, check fuel screen in gas
tank, dump old fuel and buy fresh gas.
Good luck.
Yup. When engines of any kind are not used for more than 3-6 months
it's almost always the fuel system. Stabil, and the others, are only
good for 6-12 months so it's best to run all of the gas out of the motor
and tank before storing.
Duh!
That contradicts what my last two owners manuals say to do. I suppose it might depend on how long you are storing...season to season or multiple years.
What do your owner's manuals say for 5 months of storage?
What does his owners manual say about using the same 6 gallon tankfull
of gas over multiple seasons.
