never heard of anyone using carb cleaner, but if you can find 'no ethanol' infused gas it leads to less "gunk" in your carb. Also carbs are pretty easy to take apart and rebuild.

If I remember correctly I beleive someone on here said carb cleaner could screw up the rubber diaphram in these carbs not sure but I think

carb cleaner will wash oil off your bearings and cylinder wall.

OBR and DDR recommend 91 octane gas, NO octane booster, for these engines. And avoiding high ethanol gas. Don't add anything to the gas which cuts the oil, you'll mess up any moving parts. Quickly.

Stabl should be OK, but if you plan on not using the rig for 3 or 4 months, why not drain, pull the carb and blow it out? The gallon or so of fuel in a can would work to get a bonfire going while you're ice fishing.
