Can't say I never have or haven't had carb problems, but the thing that makes me wonder is this:
Every spring, I put the snowmobiles on the trailer and back em in the shed.. I don't drain gas, drain carbs.. sometimes they get stabil, sometimes not.. In 5 years I've never had a problem with carbs (I pull and clean them EVERY fall, and always look just as clean as last year) But, I do run premium gas in them..

The tractor I run on a regular basis don't bother, but seems like everything else does, but I run cheap gas in the tractors, mowers, etc..

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
