so I stopped yesterday and bought a big bottle of StaBil, a little bottle of Gumout, a spray can of Gumout and a spray can of WD40. I poured some Gumout and StaBil in to the fuel tank of the little four wheeler. Was hopeful that the Gumout might do something, not expecting it to do anything, but what the heck.
Came home today, was not raining yet. I drug out the weedeater, blower, chainsaw, two quads, and the yard tracter. Siphoned or poured out the gas in everything but the quads.
Got the yard tools all running, and ran them out of fuel.
Fired up the big quad, it started right up. Hooked the battery charger up to the little quad. Turned the petcock back and forth a few times and left it on the Reserve setting. Opened up the choke all the way then I about fell over, it started right up.
Took a couple tried to keep it running but that is normal when it is cold anyway.
I ran it for about 10 minutes then turned the petcock to OFF and ran it out of fuel.
Gonna syphon it out and replace with with some good gas treated with Gumout.
Hopefully I will be able to ride it a while tomorrow just to get good fuel running through it again. I am even breaking down and getting a battery for it.
It is shaping up to be a good weekend.
