First I worked on small engines for years (also worked at IH dealer when I was a young guy) and all the small engine manufacturers have shown proof that ethanol is bad news. Causes all kinds of problems. Plus the fact that you loose 20% of power since ethanol burns cooler. I have a farm and a 300 that sets there a lot until I get up there to use it. I will NOT use ethanol in it or my pickup. I only use unleaded or the 87 octane fuel. I have also found that the Briggs and Stratton fuel stabilizer is EXCELLENT stuff!!! It helps to prevent the gumming you are talking about and keeps fuel fresh. Fuel is already about 30 days old by the time you get it. Fuel is only good for 90 days. This stabilizer will help keep it fresh until that time and possible a little longer. I always use a little more than is recommended on the stabilizer bottle. So you might try this method and see if it works for you like it does for me. By the way my truck, a Dodge Dakota, the best it gets is 16 to 17 with ethanol and with regular it will get 18 to 20.
