[AT] Modern Gasoline

[Stephen Offiler]

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.
