some times you get lucky, some times ya dont, I did this year...
the motor on my boat wasnt winterized, I had to run carb cleaner in the gas to burn off the varnish in the jet valves of the carb...
after about a tank of new gas, it started running better and the gas milage picked back up as well,
the least you should do on the last day of the year you run it is put stabelizer in the gas and run it in to the carb... it helps a lot....
then if you can use that gas in your snow blower chain saw leaf blower or anything else that uses mix gas. just siphen it out of the tank. or if you have an extra male you can plug in to your fuel line you can pump it out of the tank....
but if ya dont get lucky, the water in the gas can rust in side the jet valves causing your motor to flood out or starve it for gas... varnish can build up on your plugs and any moving parts in your carb.
