My experience, others may have different results. Have an old lawnmower, Tecumseh engine. It sat for 9 years with pump gas in it, didn't need it while living in apartment. When I moved to rural house I decided to give it a try. Fired right up on first pull, never skipped a beat. Sits in dry shed, wood floor, dig it out once or twice a year. 1952 Allis Chalmers tractor with loader. It has to sit outside. Main use is for plowing snow, but some lifting/pulling etc all year, sometimes sits for 2-3 months. In warm weather it starts on first spin, no choke. Below 30* it takes 3-4 spins, play with choke 30 seconds or so, then smooths out. . Checked sparkie plugs yesterday, a bit sooty. They have been in 4 1/2 years or longer, so put in new ones. Will see if it helps next time it snows. 1971 JD garden tractor, Kohler power. Main use is mowing, also snow blower for sidewalks etc. Starts & runs same as it did 30 years ago. Have been buying pump gas, 10 gal at a time, maybe just lucky. No Stabil or other additives used. Willie

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
