Engine won't start after storage.

Check for stale fuel. If fuel is old, drain and replace with fresh fuel treated with Sta-Bil. Also, check the fuel filter for any blockages.

Engine runs roughly or stalls.

This could be due to fuel system deposits. Run the engine for a longer period after adding Sta-Bil to see if it improves. Consider cleaning the carburetor or fuel injectors if the problem persists.
