Hi,I'm new here and figured I'd make this my first post about the terror (for me),of ethanol gas. It cost me $1200 this year. My Yamaha 50 hp wouldn't run worth a hoot and the place I took it to did get it going after taking off the carbs and cleaning them. They replaced some other stuff too. Plus labor. OUCH!. Runs like a champ now. I am fortunate to have a non ethanol gas station near by. (mid grade) It cost a little more but it beats putting out all those bucks. Now I'm wondering how to store it for the winter. I don't like the idea of running out all the gas as it can dry out gaskets etc. Starting it up every couple of weeks doesn't trip my trigger either. How do the rest of you handle this 'scourge'? I don't know if this has been discussed,if so,sorry.Great forum. I've been getting a lot of good pointers from it and figured I'd join in. Thanks for any suggestions. Ron
