I have the same thing happen on my Power Washer and Generator both with
Honda Engines.  I am amazed every time

It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I just pulled out my power washer and realized it has not been run since
March 2015.  Half a tank of fuel still sloshing around.  On the upside, I am
always careful to turn off the gas and run the carb dry.  I am also careful
to add Sta-Bil as soon as I purchase gas.  We have ethanol in our gas around
here like in most places in the USA.

It started on the first pull.  Literally.

Engine is a 9HP Honda GX270 (I think).  I suppose there might be qualities
of the engine (strong spark, strong fuel vaporization in the carb,
whatever...) that help it run on crappy old gas.  Or something.  I'm still
shaking my head in amazement.

SO
