If it still smells like good fresh gasoline it will most likely be ok. Can't imagine how it could though after all that time. In about 1963 I overhauled a 300. Customer drove it home, gassed it up and put it on an auger. Within a hour or so it quit running. He thought the engine had seized. What happened was all the valves were stuck. The intake manifold looked like some one had put roofing tar in side and the valves were the same. Had to tear it down and clean everything up. He had just purchased some bargain basement gasoline and it stunk to high heaven. Mind you, this was back when we supposedly had good gasoline. Any time the high ends of the gasoline are allowed to evaporate you end up with varnish. Is todays gasoline any worse, I honestly don't know. I have seen so much rotten gasoline years ago and that was when everybody was running gasoline engines on a regular basis, not just puttering around and leaving a tank of gas in the tractor for a whole year.
