Question
basslkjohn
This August I have rebuilt three carburetors: my 9.9 yamaha kicker, my 18.5 hp kohler garden tractor, and , now, my 3500 watt generator (getting ready for deer camp). All three carbs were fouled by fuel I bought in June. All three engines were used just a few times over the course of the summer....but c'mon, is the modern fuel so poor that it will gum up an engine in as little as six weeks? O.K., I did not add a fuel stabilizer right away, but all three engines did get a dose of Sea Foam sometine during the summer.
So is anyone else out there having these problems? Should we run our outboards and other small engines dry before putting them away? Should we drain our portable fuel tanks after each use? I'm not talking over winter storage here...just how to keep a small engine from fouling up over the course of the summer. Thanks,guys.
