Topped up a month ago, but that will have been in the can for a
few months...

I have heard of this many times - the old fuel problem, but I have
never suffered it despite having engines and fuel stood for years. A
problem I have come across several times, is carbs gummed up by fuel
residues.


is there a "redex" type solution to that?

I have heard of a solution which poured into the fuel tank, helps
preserve the fuel - I don't know if it helps prevent the carb becoming
gummed up.
