I have not had a problem with ethanol fuel either, EXCEPT years 30 years ago, I had an ice fishing auger with a very small gasoline engine. Every spring I would prepare it for storage and every fall I would have to go through the carburetor. No matter what I did (stored it with fresh fuel, used Stabil or Sea Foam, or drained it dry), I had the same problem every spring. Cleaning the carb became a yearly ritual. Where I lived then, non-alcohol fuel was difficult to find, so I never tried it. I have always chalked this up to the small size of the carburetor and perhaps the fact it was a cheap imported unit.
