You say you drained the fuel tank at the end of the season.

Yes

And that it ran OK for 20 mins this season.

Yes

That would seem
to suggest that the water was in the fuel you just put in it.
Did that gas sit around all winter? No only a few weeks old If so, one important thing you could do is not end the season with a can of gas. Either

use it up, put it in a vehicle, etc.
I amost always have stabilizer in it.

Me too.

Weed eater, two chain saws, and ATV ran fine with same fuel.

And this problem was the typical gunk from
alscohol/gas in the carb, not actual water.


This could very well be correct.
