It's an Ariens 8524 with an 8.5HP Techumseh Snow King engine. Last year, I failed to treat the remaining gas with gas preservative and then drain the old gas. So, it was stored over the summer with gas with no stabilizer treatment in it.
It now starts and runs OK, but a little rough. I suspect there may be some gum in the carb from the oil gas.
Is there a gas additive I can use that will dissolve the deposits left by the old gas? Since it is basically running, I would like to avoid disassembling the carb and try a chemical cleaning route. Any suggestions for what additive to use?
