Re: Bad Gas, Carbs clogged! You can try Sea-Foam or any of the commercial additives.
But odds are if it is gummed up it is going to stay that way.
can you get it to run at all or I guess I should say what exactly is it doing?

Re: Bad Gas, Carbs clogged! I think the ethanol is the culprit. Pulled the carb off of a lawn mower the other day and it was all funked up. Brake cleaner barely touched the stuff.
Buddy of mine said that Chevron (I think) is the only one that does not add ethanol to their gas. Suggested buying all small engine gas from them to avoid the problems associated with gummed up carbs.
