Brought it to the property, filled it with 100 octane Avgas. Sputtered and spit for a minute, then purred like a kitten. Has run like new ever since.
All my small equipment runs on Avgas. Zero alcohol, stays stable pretty much indefinitely.
I don't bother to drain the tanks before winter. After sitting months, they fire right up.
Some airports will sell gas to anyone, some won't.

Ditto marinas that sell no alcohol gas to boaters. Luckily, no alcohol gas is available near me. Gasohol is terrible for small engines.
