It doesn't hurt to add a bit of cleaner to your gas occasionally.....and ethanol free gas is a plus in these small engines too.
RKS, where do you get ethanol free gas??? Do you get it shipped from Amazon??

We have a gas station that we pass on the way to Grandy NC and they sell ethanol free gas, and my wife passes a place on the way to work. I run it in my string trimmer and lawn mower. I keep the scooters moving so they are still on 10% ethanol fuel. I think the Gas Buddy App has the ethanol free stations listed.

Here ya go.....https://www.pure-gas.org

Pick your state.

I went through the list for my state, checked off all stations within 60 miles of home, and printed off a list of those stations. Carry a copy of it on each of my three motorcycles.

Thanks RKS There is one place 20 min. on the highway from me in Ashland,VA. Have to use a gas can as you can't drive up. With it being like that, I'll prob stick to gas here and add a cap of seafoam once in awhile. An oldtime member of Scootdawg, can't remember his name, told me he adds a cap of Seafoam every tank. I did that for years and no problems with carb.
