Is that AVGAS? AFAIK AVGAS doesn't have ethanol while most MOGAS does.
I put 1oz of Seafoam gas additive per gallon of gas into every can of gas I
buy. Additionally equipment thats going to sit (like the snowblower over the
summer) gets 1oz per gallon during storage. Since I've started doing that my
problems with bad gas have gone way down.I did have to clean a carb and rebuild
a fuel pump this fall for a snowmobile but its the one I bought last spring so
it could have already been in trouble when I got it and in fact looking back it
had a stumble I couldn't really account for...
The shutoff is suspenders and belt. My lawnmower has a shutoff and I run it out
every time I shut it down. It starts fantastically well, like second or third
pull every time I start it.
If Angie is going to start the lawnmower the choke will inevitably stick on and
it won't start. She'll call me (in the Philippines for instance) and I'll
explain that the choke sticks sometimes and all you have to do is tug on the
little rod next to the carb and it'll come loose. She'll claim she's done that
and it still won't start. I'll get home, pull the choke open and it'll start in
a big cloud of smoke from all the gas in the exhaust...

I put Stabil in all the gas I buy that doesn't go directly into the truck -
haven't had a problem with stale gas since. Mind you, I buy gas by the 55 gal.
drum, and pump it to where it's needed from there.
