[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 288908, member: 7544"] Gas purchased in May is no where near being "fresh". That would be the equivalent of storing it over the fall and winter months. As little as you use your boat, you should try to buy only about as much fuel as you are going to use for that fishing trip. That what you're not storing several gallons for prolonged periods. Also try to find a gas station that doesn't add ethanol to their gas. Fuel stabilizer can and should be used any time the fuel isn't going to be used for a prolonged period. While that means fall/winter for most things, it can also be used the rest of the year if required. Seafoam works well to help keep the fuel system clean but it also works well as a fuel stabilizer. I've been using it for several years now in my mowers, motorcycle, and any other fuel that gets stored for the winter. For your motor problems, I'd start by pulling the carb off and cleaning it real well and maybe install some new plugs. [/QUOTE]
