If your ethanol blended fuel is older then 2 weeks this can be your problem especially if bought from a smaller station who gets fuel less then once a week. I've done several posts where I explain how ethanol blend fuel starts to break down after 2 weeks. The best thing to do is go to pure-gas.org scrol to the bottom of page, click on your state abreviation then search for the closest station for the pure gas without ethanol. If put into a sealed metal Jerry can it will keep a good year without any stabil. This will solve the many problems associated with the ethanol blended fuel in our carbureted buggies.
