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.

I use 90 octane non ethanol fuel in my Craftsman LT2000. It sat all winter, used it just last week and it fired right up, runs great on that fuel.
I also use non ethanol fuel in my leaf blower and weed eater. The weed eater was purchased in 1987, leaf blower in 1990, both are Homelite. Only thing ever replaced on both is the fuel lines, filter, and primer bulbs, did that about 2 years ago, they run like champs!!!
