And what did you put in that gas?

FWIW, I have a simple rule. In my daily drivers I use the ethanol crap. They don't sit that much however with this COVID business and working from home my monthly gas use has gone from 75-80 gallons a month to 8 gallons a month so I may need to think about a dose of Stabil in my tank.

Other than my daily drivers, EVERY OTHER ENGINE I own gets ethanol free gas. It costs more but why risk it? If I had a nickle for every small engine carburetor I cleaned out for an ethanol buying neighbor I'd be a rich man.

Now let me state that I live in the state where nothing is allowed. The ethanol free pump can only be used for boats, small engines, and vehicles over 20 years old. I do try to comply even as I see others fill their daily drivers with that pump.

If you don't have access to ethanol free gas, make sure you use Seafoam or Stabil. It is worth it.

My 71 C/20 sits still from October to May, because it’s only job is to bring in firewood from my property. I only use ethanol free fuel in it. The truck is mostly original with 54000 miles. This year she started but ran terribly. I checked most of the usual suspects but determined it must be the Two Jet. I sent it off to The Carb Exchange in NJ. Mike did a fantastic job , carb looks new and truck runs like a sewing machine again.
