I have had clogged pilot jets after sitting one winter in my Interceptor 500 after storing with Stabil and I siezed my snowmobile engine at the beginning of winter a couple years ago which was the result of chunks of crap that formed in the carb and apparently got sucked into one main jet while making a long high speed pass across the field. 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.
