Gas shouldnt store gas in the car for more than a week. Actually its best to drain all the fuel when ur done and throw it away. What I'd do is next time you buy gas, put ethanol stabilizer in the fuel so the gas lasts longerI USED THE CAR ABOUT 3 TIMES, PUT THE CAR AWAY.

Hpw long didmyou leave it standing?
Awesome. Hope it works out for you!I WILL CHANGE OUT THE GAS TODAY AND LET YA KNOW THANKS.
Yeah that's probably too long. So if the gas is the problem, you learned something new, don't let gas sit for to long, becuase of the ethanol that will attract moisture and contaminate the fuel, so to help with this is, buy yourself some ethanol stabilizer and pour some of that into ur gas when u mix the oil and the gas and it should help the gas last a bit longer (Ive heard from a video that the guys gas lasted a year and was still good cuz of that stabilizer) ?ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO A MONTH NOT REALLY SURE .
Thats not long at all??ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO A MONTH NOT REALLY SURE .
IT was ethanol free gasYeah that's probably too long.

caseys sells ethanol free gas for a little more money.Yeah that's probably too long.

did what you said it works fine, thanks johnThat's not to long. Your issue lies somewhere else. Gas is usually fine for a few months. It may lose a point or two but certainly wont lose its combustion power. If you have a killswitch double check it, if you don't you likely flooded it.
With that said, take your car and put it on something where all 4 wheels are off the ground not touching anything. If your running a killswitch disconnect the main wire going to engine. Unbolt your carb, take it off (you can leave fuel line connected) then pull until it fires. It shouldn't take more than 5-10 pulls. It will fire, rev out and die. Reassemble and you should he good to go
If I keep gas in the tank on my Losi & Vekta, I always start them once a week and clean the plug after I shut them down.I USED THE CAR ABOUT 3 TIMES, PUT THE CAR AWAY. WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WILL NOT FIRE, HOW LONG CAN YOU STORE GAS IN THE CAR.
