I am in the process of packing out to move. You may wish to consider that 'Sea Foam' and other 'storage' chemicals are often used to keep gasoline from 'gelling' which can plug the carburetor up. The other issue is that over long periods of time, the octane ( lightest ) portion of the gasoline tends to evaporate. Either way, the usual cure is to siphon the tank clean- add starting fluid*, run briefly to clear the carb and combustion, then refill with clean and fresh gas. If someone else does this, you may also want to offer that some crankshafts can be connected to a drill for less 'armstrong', if need be. A timing light or other spark indicator is safer than a temporary outside gap. Automotive stores sometimes have small 'neon light pens' for this. If stored in a dusty environment, you may also need an air filter- yet this is seldom the case. (* I recently used 'Gumout' brand starting fluid to start an engine that had been overfilled with oil- back into the carb- a pressure washer system- it also took many turns of the crank ). Jon L.
