Other brands of gas don’t totally destroy carbs bur Arco does.

On small oe stationary engines if they are going to sit for more than a couple of weeks, drain the gas out of them.

ARCO also gets much poorer milage than other brands.

Just last week a guy had 2 motorcycles stored at a friends house for about a month and he couldn’t get them to start.

We drained the gas out of them, put in fresh gas and they started right up.

Buy another one; and another, etc.! WTF!

Good for the economy, huh?

Henry Ford would sh1t his pants seeing the bs that goes on now.
There was a time when American made products were made for their excellence, long lasting, and ability of owners to maintain the product themselves.
No more! The idea is for repeat sales and high repeat cost service. And w/BigBro sticking his nose into the affairs of we the people, now wonder everything from A-Z is screwed up.
Keep voting and supporting those Kings and sub-kings, folks!

The stuff out here turns milky in a week.
I had a car running smooth (well, kind of rumpty-rump like) and nice, let it stand for a week or less, and when I finally got it restarted it ran like a one-lung tractor. Fuel smelled like ailing urine and the Holley needed a flush.

Old Prof - I don't think it's just sediment at bottom of float bowl. It really does powder alloy parts and the local Honda shop is getting rich on mower carbueretor rebuilds. He's the one who tipped me to running it dry and that seems to work.

Heart - thanks, I'll give it a try.
