I have read quite a bit about the need to use fuel stabilizer in the new portable size (usually 20hp and smaller) 4 stroke outboards to prevent gumming up the carb. Anyone have a preference or a brand/type to stay away from? Advice or experience on how to stay away from the repair shop due to varnish clogging up the carbs? The tech where I bought my outboard mentioned running the motor out of gas completely after each use, using fuel stabilizer, avoiding gas that has any ethanol added (if possible), and always using "fresh" gas.
