  2. Appreciate the advise. It's not like I don't ride it at all during the winter....just not that much. I keep a trickle charger on at all times when parked and even during those times I don't ride much I start it up every week and let it idle for a short period, sometimes only every two weeks but it's not like it is shoved in a corner and never ridden. We had a unusual heat wave this summer where temperatures were in the triple digits for 9 weeks and I'm thinking that may be the reason for the gas to go sour so fast. Senator.....at 68 years of age I don't plow snow from my driveway......I hire someone like you to do it for me. This problem occurred during the summer months so it wasn't from not being ridden as often during the winter. Once again, replies appreciated...thanks.
  3. First a hello to all. First time poster as I just recently found this forum. I have a 2008 500 Artic cat that recently had to go into the shop. Problem was the carb was gummed up from bad gas after sitting for several weeks. I always use Sea Foam and Sta-bil as a stabilizer and figured that was all that was needed but apparently not. Couple mechanics at the shop made a few recommendations for when I knew the cat would be sitting for several weeks. One was to put a fuel cutout valve between the fuel pump and carb and close it and allow the engine to run until it quits. Another recommended to just drain the fuel bowl when parking it. Yet another said high octane gas will stay stable a lot longer than the regular unleaded. Don't know if that last one is true or not. So the meat of my question is do any of you have any tricks of the trade to preventing this problem as my cat does stay parked for long periods at a time, especially during the winter months. Thanks..........................
