acammer - i am gonna take your advise when I store it this time.

I would think that condensation would not be a issue in my "heated" garage, but the combination of old gas from the previous year and cheap gas this year could be the issue. And the Ethanol acting like a water magnet.
I added 5 gallons of top tier Premium from a Marathon Station yesterday, which pretty much filled up the tank to a full level, and a shot of Lucas Fuel treatment mixed in, and it fired right up.

I am now more inclined that the 10% Ethanol is not the main culprit, but more so the old gas, the and non Top Tier cheap gas from Circle K.

I typically just fill up really full, add the full tank treatment worth of stabil, and drive the 5 miles home.
