Please help! Last year towards the end of the season, I filled it with regular gas. It sat for about two weeks before i rode it. When I did, it started to choke or sputter every few minutes. I thought it was just a tank of bad gas. I rode it to a little less than 1/8 of a tank. It had 24.5 hours on it. I then emptied the tank as best i could and put Sta-bil to treat what little fuel was left. I also, drained the oil and removed the oil filter and sprayed fogging oil in the intakes. I covered it up and put it in the garage on a trickle charger for the winter.
At the end of April I topped it off with new gas and added a little more Sta-bil to it. On June 27th, I filled it with 10-40 synthetic oil and put a new oil filter on it. I ran it for a few minutes on land, and then I trolled on the water for another 5 minutes or so. When I finally opened it up it wouldn't go more than 8-10 mph. I checked underneath to see if I sucked anything up, and it was clean. It was not in L-Mode either. The warranty expired on that same day. Can it be the gas I put in last season?
