Use an additive like Stabil. You have to be consistent and put it in as soon as you get the fuel. If you already have the problem, just dissemble the carb and clean, replace gaskets and particularly rubber tipped needles. The ethanol gunk will hide in small jets, particuarly the power (high speed) jet. Some carb cleaners won't touch the gum left by the ethanol. you may have to poke the gunk out of the jet with a fine copper wire. (be carefull and don't damage the jet.)I have had good luck with Briggs and Stratton carb cleaner. Prevention is far better than the cure. I was in small engine repair business for several years. I have seen a lot of engines ruined, particularly vertical shaft engines. carb needle will allow fuel to leak into the oil. Fuel will push oil out and eventually block the piston. I have sold a lot of batteries and starters, when the real problems were blocked cylinders, caused by fuel leaking by an ethanol gummed needle and seat. Most 2cycle oil has a stabilizer in it make sure it does before you buy it.
