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. |

I suppose it might depend on how long you are storing...season to season or multiple years. |

Perhaps your manuals take that into account. I have a Honda 20 hp 4 stroke on our dinghy that is a pretty good engine in most respects. That said, I always make sure to run the carburetor dry if I'm not going to be using it for any length of time. Doing otherwise invites trouble. I've also installed a big Racor fuel filter to catch any crud which develops in the tanks. |

Johnny.....I operate on a 5 month use and 7 month storage schedule.
Manual says to treat gas and run for a bit and then fog cylinders.....which is exactly what the dealer does at the end of the season. And yes, this is a 4 stroke motor and no one confuses 2 stroke oil with 4 stroke. In the spring I burn off the previous years treated gas and then change my water filter. Motor starts up right away and might smoke for a couple of minutes...but works well after warming up. |

"What does his owners manual say about using the same 6 gallon tankfull of gas over multiple seasons." Why would I do that, Stinky? I make sure I burn off anything I have in the gas cans as we move through October. |

Stinky asked me about the 6 gallon "tank".... I have a couple of 20 liter (or 5 US gallon) cans that I use up in the fall. Earlier I talked about the boat's built in tank that holds about 15 'merican gallons. That is the gas I burn up in the spring. Clear enough for you or do I have to get your new recruit, Dickson, to explain it? |

We still have a fair amount of expertise here but not like it used to be when we had guys that actually made a living working on this stuff. I'm thinking specifically of people like Wayne "Clams" Canino and Dave "Dave of the North" Brown from Canada. I actually met Dave Brown once when we did a memorable cruise on the Rideau Canal system back in the summer of 2000. It's hard to believe that it has been 15 years. |

But my tank is harder to empty. 70 gallons. Some of us don't live in nice warm climates. I keep at least 5 gallons of gas handy for the snowblower and the little generator in the winter. It's stored outside and I add the recommended amount of Stabil to it. Last winter I had a 5 gallon jug and a 1 gallon jug sitting outside both of which were promptly buried under 5 feet of snow. Fortunately, we never lost power all winter and the snow was too deep to use the snow blower on. I just emptied both in my truck a couple of weeks ago. Truck happily burned it with no hiccups. I also had about half a gallon of gas mixed with 2 stroke oil that I use for my chainsaw. It sat for over a year with Stabil in it. I've been doing some serious tree trimming in the past couple of weeks and the chain saw runs just fine on the old gas. Again, stored outside, buried in snow during the winter and over a year old. |

I'm starting to think Scott Secord Dickson is the smartest of y'all mangy Moppits. I clearly stated that the gas in the red cans gets used in the fall and the boat's internal fuel tank is filled and treated for winter storage. This gas is used late spring and then the water filter is changed. |

I have a little Honda rototiller and until this past weekend, hadn't used it for two seasons. In fact, I had forgotten about it. It still had some gas in the tank, and it started right up. Guess I was lucky. I run my lawnmower dry for the winter, and put marine sta-bil in the garden tractor's tank. I do start up the tractor every few weeks in the winter, though. |

Squirt in as much as you can and quickly reinsert the drain plug. If the float valve is stuck that is sometimes enough to get things going again. Before that, squirt a bit of fuel into the carb and crank it over. If the engine will run while you squirt fuel into the carb, then you know you've got a clogged up carb problem. Otherwise move on to checking the electrical system. good idea Wayne... |

This gas is used late spring and then the water filter is changed. "And you complain of rough running." Who's complaining about rough running? My Mercury 60 Big Foot is smooth as a baby's butt.
