How old can gas be before it starts to ruin carb passages? I store my atv about 3 weeks at a time. Should i put in sta-bil?

I warm my quad up at idle for about 5 min then blast around my block (bout 1/4 mile) then let it idle for a few min then back in truck till I go riding at RAC again. usually about 3 weeks in between RAC riding. I do the block blasts every 5-8 days when i make an "adjustment: (wink wink)

Ive been using Star Tron Gasoline Additive ever since I got my bike and I think the stuff is great. Never had a fuel problem and the additive mixes with any water that might be in the fuel. All I can say is... GREAT STUFF!

I use some dry gas in mine when I have it sit for more than a month, but gonna start using the ethanol blocker and see how that works. I havent had any issues so far related to it sitting, but I try to run it even if only "block blasts" at least once a month.

if you have at least 5gallons or close to it in your tank it should be ok for that long ... i have snowmobiles and they have tanks that hold 10 to 12 gallons ... they seem to be fine for close to 9 months with out any problems ... the more gas you have the longer it will last b4 going bad.. i have put stabil in the snowmobiles b4 and have not ... but i run them about 15 to 20 min. a month even in the summer to make shure the small amount of gas in the carbs dosent go bad ..

      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.

      I have a Sportsman 450 HO and almost killed my self when loading it on my truck with ramps.  It rolled off the top of the ramps and tailgate and nearly landed on me.  I now want to winch the ATV in to the truck.  My question is are the front side bed tiedowns in my 2011 RAM strong enough to winch to without distorting the hooks or sides of the bed?
