Honestly this sort of problem is why I gave up on my boat projects earlier this year. I have two motors, both have been repaired multiple times, both won't run. I have managed to get my money back from the shop, and I am done (in one case they took parts back which was fine with me since it didn't work). Eventually I will buy some new paddles for the jon boat, and the trihull project boat I will just find somebody to haul off. I have better and more important things to spend my money on....

Ya know
After living here in Wyoming for these last years. I have absolutely no problems with my small engines. I keep the tanks full on them over the winter or summer whichever they are for. I think the big problem is the "new" gas has all this alcohol in it..very bad on picking up water..BUT we have very low humidity. If it gets to 30-40% it is raining....and we really don't know what rain is. 2inches so far this year..including last winters snow. It is possible to find gasoline without the alcohol added. Especially around boating areas But I can even find it here locally. I also did find it in Md. And that is what I used in my boats. Gonna try some of that stuff you posted on though skeeter..I hate this gas with alcohol added. In fact I even have a couple of bottles of the lead additives that used to be sold for older cars with the uncoated?? valves or whatever..they needed tetraethyl lead. Stabil has always been a bit of a problem for me
