I have a bunch of gasoline powered small machines, almost too many to list it seems like. I don't keep fuel in them any longer than I have to. On every piece, I drain the tank or use a bulb to suck the left over fuel out of the tank and run the engine dry. Then I drain the carb bowl. I also use marine Stabil, & if I have a batch that gets too old (in my judgment), I use it for something else if I can. I also spend the few cents extra to get 91 octane in hoped it makes them run cooler. It's a bit of extra effort but I've had really good luck. If I have a piece of equipment that will be setting for a long time, I also blow a little bit of fogging oil in the combustion chamber.
