A big question as yet unasked is, was the fuel pure gas or ethanol contaminated sh!t.
Pure gas has a pretty good chance if the fuel system is not varnished badly. E10, unlikely, as it begins deterioration in just 3 months. To make matters worse, E10 is low grade gas with high octane ethanol. That ethanol octane is gone after a year or so leaving a tank of watered low octane fuel.
