Yes, gasoline goes bad, also when you refill your tanks use a stabilizer to help it keep longer. Sta-Bil is a brand name one that works well, but there may be others.

more thanlikely the gas went bad or the diaphram fuel pump is dried out. here is what you can try and probably ewill get it going. 1. Remove all the old gasoline.
2. Replace wilth a half tank of gas.
3. Remove the air filter.
4. open the choke. 5. Spray a squirt of engine start ether into carburetor.
5. close choke
6. pull starter rope.
7. as soon as it starts open the choke slightly and spray a bit more ether to keep it running. Don't drown it just small squirts.
Many times that is enough to prime it and loosen up the fuel and pump. Before doing any of this take the plug out and clean it off and reinstall it before trying to start. good luck

Anyone have a local recommendation for snow blower service/repair? I have a snow blower that won't start.
