Post Whelp.......

Here in California we also don't get real gasoline, RUG is total crap, it begins to degrade in less than one week and after three weeks good luck getting anything to run on it unless it's a completely closed system and fuel injected .

As a result I run all my carburated engines on high test pump gas ~ I recently used some FIVE YEAR OLD 91 octane to awaken a sleeping VW Beetle .

I was amazed when I removed the filler cap that it smelled fine, usually the stink is bad and I have to drain and discard old gasoline .
