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.

I meant the problem I experienced was the gunk type.
Not so sure about yours. When I've had them gunked up,
it just wouldn't start. I can also see it running rough,
hard to start, etc. How it runs OK for 20 mins, then
fails from gunk, may be possible, but I haven't seen it.

Did you read the manual for the proper winterization
procedure? Is there a way to drain the carb bowl, etc?
