[QUOTE="RBuffordTJ, post: 288895, member: 1385"] Ethanol gas will begin to phase seperate (at the chemical level) in about 15 days and it will draw in moisture from the air. Shaking it won't help that problem but it will mix the water and gas up for a few minutes. Make sure to use marine stabalizer it will help a little longer. Non ethanol will do the same but it takes about 4 to 5 weeks...yeah I know, all our fuel sucks. As to your problem sounds like a choke issue, you should be priming the fuel ball up like normal to make sure it is there and ready. It sounds like it may not be getting too much but using what it has sitting in the bowl to try and start and then there is not enough there to keep it up. Of course I could be nuts #-o Bufford [/QUOTE]
