What kind of gas are you using? Gas with alcohol mixed in (most Hawaii gas) can be bad for some engines and also can dissolve gaskets and fuel tanks not specifically made to tolerate ethanol.
Also, is your gas possibly old? After a month or 2 starts smelling more like varnish and it is actually coating and clogging your fuel lines and small tubes.
Best to use fresh gas and also real gas without ethanol. HFN has it and Mountain View store I believe. Probably some other places too. Most fishing boats require real gas so they don't stall and get disabled at sea.
I always mix a fuel stabilizer into my small engine gas containers and only buy maybe a month's worth at a time. If it starts to get too old I just dump it in my 92 Toyota and get some more fresh gas.
