I had treated the sled the prior spring with Stabil before storing it.

Last time I counted, I have well over 50 internal combustion engines and draining/prepping all of them in case they might sit over a month has really become a PITA. My "easiest" solution is to try and remember to drain the tanks then run each "seasonal" machine on pure AVgas before storing.

I have have owned multiple gasoline engines my whole life and NEVER had these issues until a few years ago.
