I've added stabel to my gas during winter storage on the jet ski for 5 years....never had carb problems after running the gas in summer...however I think the quality of gas has gone down in the last few years because of refining changes. (It doesn't store as well)

 

Add some Sea Foam to it, that will bring it right back to life. It is amazing stuff. Good luck. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Nex time you should add in some stabil and you can let it sit for a few months no prob.

 

Gas in the carb float bowls will go bad much sooner than 6 weeks. I suppose this is because float bowls are vented and evaporation of the high volatile components is faster. I usually need to drain float bowl for easy starts after only 2 weeks. Gas in the vented plastic fuel tank stays good much longer.
