Things have changed, but a lot of this stuff is USER error.
I remember when they removed the lead from the gas and at that time I was riding a Harley. We found ourselves using Marvel Mystery Oil (same stuff I used on my sewing machine)
We also found to leave tanks full and if not in use for several months, drain. Adding Sea Foam and Stabil are a must. SMELL gas for varnish.
So, now I have been using Fly J or Smiths gas in my Lawn mower for 10 years with 2 plug changes. Still starts on second pull. Snow blower 5 years, same thing. 9.9 Honda boat motor with metal gas can, three years, still fires and runs smooth as heck. Two generators, 4 years, all good.
Guess, experiences may very.
