Question

I'm having a problem with my '95 Yamaha 50 HP tiller. It will start, (after about 20 tries) but if I try and run it at more than an idle it will kill. Also it idles very ruff.
Last fall I put a can of sea foam in with about 1/2 a tank of gas (8-9 gallons) and sprayed fogging spray until it killed then put it in storage.
It’s seams to me that the gas is bad so yesterday I added 8 gallons of new gas and 2 bottles of Isopropyl alcohol. Then I took out a can on carb cleaner with me. After I got it running I spraied the carbs with the cleaner. Right after that it would run up to about 25 - 30 RPM's but it didn’t seam to have much power. After I slowed down it started to act just like before I cleaned the carbs. I did this 3 or 4 times and got the same results every time.
Do I need to take the motor in to get serviced or would draining the tank and getting new gas be worth trying?
Thanks of the help.
