I'd just use Stabil if I wanted to do something.

I doubt letting the gas sit in there for 6-7 months would do any significant damage to a Stovebolt.

Does anyone know of credible studies on what Stabil does on a chemical basis? As a chemist, I'd want the analytical data.

I'd like to get 2 identical carbs and fill them with gas, stabilized and not stabilzed. I'd have to force it through the passages. After 9 months, disassembly should show whether it's worth it carb-wise. I'm guessing there would be difference.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about older, unstabilized gas in the combustion process itself, but that's just me.
