I always stabilize my fuels for storage. Only E0 gas for storage. My '01 Road King has not had the carb apart since '01 when I put a kit in it.
Decades of carbs in sleds, bikes, boats and OPE. Since I've been stabilizing and then having access to E0 gas in the last 15 yrs. I have not had to deal with carb cleaning. Only carbs I have had to deal with in the past have been used purchases to get cleaned up and get them up to speed to my methods and that now is a thing of the past.
Put it away with E0 and marine grade stabilizers and forget about it. I run E10 fuels during the season in bikes and sleds but as winter approaches the more expensive and lower octane E0 gets run through. I just don't hammer them with the lower octane for the last tank.
