With all due respect, people that say that they have no problems with ethanol adultrated fuel must be getting a fresher or different grade than we are getting here. I have used Stabil and I really can't tell that it helped at all. Ethanol gas ruined the carburetor on my weed eater, nearly ruined my power saws, ruined two fuel pumps in the Tahoe and had me pulling what little hair that I have left out with my model A's. I lose power with the corn fuel, If any of it remains in the tank or carburetor for much over two weeks it causes problems. It has bad effects on anything rubber. When used in my power saws it causes hesitation (won't take the gas untill it gets hot) and I have to use channel lock pliers to remove the gas caps. When corn gas is used it clings to the carburetor jets and will continue to cause problems even after changing back to real gas. I know what I'm talking about and this is the experience that we have had. The ethanol gas that we get here is so bad that If I couldn't get real gas I would just have to give up the model A's or ever using my power saws, weed eater or lawn mower . I recently bought a new Craftsman riding mower, the first question that I asked was if it had ethanol gas in the tank. The salesman quickly replied that it had real gas. They had several mowers on the showroom floor. Thank God that we have A Shell station that sells real gas at a pump around back, its a hassle because the pump isn't card frendly and we have tro go inside to pay first. We also have to pay a lot more but I really don't worry that much about that because I personally don't have to have that much.

I rebuild my own carburetors. I mostly only use original jets. My GAV works perfectly at idle and cruising speed .
