Real Honda stuff, not the look alikes, are very high quality. But, their
Kehin carbs are crapola. Never, never, leave gasoline in one more than a
few days. The float bowl will return to the ores of the metal they
originated from. A trick small engine shops sometimes use is to mix a bit
of 2 stroke oil in the gas. That is not a cure all, but it cuts down on the
corrosion a bit. Best to run them, turn off the fuel, and run them WITHOUT
LOAD until they quit. Shelf life of modern gasoline is about 90 days or
less. Let that be your guide.
