Add an inline gas cut off, put sta-bil additive into any gas sitting

in the engine gas tank or your refill tanks over a month.
Every time you cut off the engine, do it by turning off the gas valve and let it burn the gas left in the carb.
Cheaper than ethanol-free and you won't have any problems.

Now, outboards on boats different issue. Yes, ethanol free gas plus Sea Foam.
