I always fill up my gas tank on my Farmall A in the fall before I put it away for the winter in my shed as I only use it in the summer to mow grass. I added the gas stabilization stuff to the gas at the same time. This spring when I started the tractor it started harder than normal. Usually it always starts right off. Last Saturday I started it and mowed the lawn. After mowing I parked the tractor outside and when I went to start it, it wouldn't start. It had good spark and gas was dripping out the carb. I pulled one of the spark plugs and it was dry. I pushed it into the shed and Sunday I again tried to start it and it wouldn't start. I took one of the spark plugs out and squirted some fresh gas in that cylinder. I cranked over the engine and it started right up. The gasoline in the tank smells funny, so I wondered if anyone has ever had the problem even after adding the gasoline stabilizer. Roger
