BTW I never put anything in the gas, and it always runs, even when unused for a couple weeks. But I do try and run it with no more than three weeks in between. Recently it sat unused for more than a month, and it still worked fine. I do believe though that when you don't use it for say three or four months, your carb wil gunk up. But not in two or three weeks.

Ethanol gas can go into phase separation in as little as a month. That's the best reason to put Stabil in your fuel. Couple with that the fact that Stabil cleans your fuel system and it's a win - win situation.
Short story. I owned a 2005 Trophy Walkaround boat. I always filled my boats 85 gallon gas tank at the end of the season when I winterized it. I always put the correct amount of Stabil in the gas. This would be in September (when I was living in NY). In 2007 I hurt my back badly. I commissioned the boat in Spring and tried to take it out but the pounding hurt really bad. I immediately re-winterized it as I knew I would not be able to use it that year. The following year, 2008, I commissioned the boat in Spring and all was well with my back. That boat started right up with the almost two year old gas. Everything I own other than my daily driver truck gets Stabil.
