Varnish and other gummy stuff from stale gas (even after draining and refilling the tank) will deposit itself on the valve stems, and at the next startup you'll end up with stuck valves, bent pushrods, and possibly some broken rocker arms. Always use a remote tank like for an outboard motor, and either remove and steam clean the onboard tank, or replace it. I also like to soak the valve stems and guides with spray carburetor cleaner and lever the valves open and closed repeatedly before the first startup. Jerry
