Like i stated I use Stabile in all gas for small engines.

I also out a little 'Gumout' gas treatment or SeaFoam into the gas can.....
Engine seems to run better, and this will prevent carbs clogging,
at least it's worked for me for years.

Has anyone used Marvel Mystery Oil in their gas, would be interesting hearing feedback on this product. I hear you can use in both gas an oil.
Many folks swear by this product, as it's been around for years !

In the mid-1970's, I worked at Great Bay Marine (Newington, NH), and during the haul-out and winterization period we used Marvel Mystery Oil on EVERY engine, generally to 'fog it out' and get the oil into the cylinders, and then put some in the fuel tank.

If my memory serves me correctly, we probably used at least two or three 55-gallon drums of Marvel Mystery Oil each fall. As a matter of fact, I still have a small can of it in my garage shop right now.
