I found that adding old gasoline to my Farmall Cub tractor caused severe
valve sticking. Don Young


Interesting - we've had Farmall Cubs in the family for years and I've thrown
all kinds of gas in them in the past. But as I've gotten older and less
inclined to drain tanks & clean carburetors I've been more careful recently.
Just had to drain water out of mine (condensation) from being outside
covered with a tarp. I have a Massey Pony with a "sticky valve" and it's
power is greatly reduced. The only time I've had a Cub with power reduced
that much is when a plug was fouled.

I have a couple of gallons of old gasoline, probably at least a year old.
I suppose I could dispose of it properly, but I was wondering of it could
be "revived" somehow or used instead?

Been looking at the snowblower talks lately, a lot of them swear by
adding Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel to prevent sticky valves, etc.

I had a neighbor who claimed he used Marvel Mystery Oil as "starting fluid".
Is that possible ?
I'm afraid it is too late to "prevent" for that Pony - but I might throw a
little in the gas tanks of my other two and the Cub.

Got me. I've never actually opened a can of the stuff.,
