I never put stabilizer in my gas to over winter and have not had any problems. Give it a try. It will either start or it won't. If it doesn't, try fresh gas.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, I'm not consistent,,, lol,,, never had a problem starting after the winter, at least not because of gas. I'm with Frank on this.

Well, I turned on the key and let the fuel pump do its thing. Then she fired right up. EFI 4-S and Chevron gasoline.
What a relief.

well you didn't tell us the whole story about what you had. fuel injected 4 stroke. makes a big difference. than a carbed 2 stroke. still advisable to stablize the gas.

Chevron puts Techron in thier gas which makes a huge difference. I have a friend who bites the bullet and run it all the time. I don't myself because it is normally abot 25-30 a gal higher in price and 2 MPG, that addd up to a lot of $$$.
I add Techron to my vehicles to help keep the injectors and O2 sensors clean and keep the check engine light off.
