I decided to try to start a tractor that had not been run in many years. I could smell the odor of bad gas in the tank so I drained it. There was about 5 gallons. I didn't want to just dump it somewhere so I put it into a tractor that I use on a regular basis to use it up. The tractor ran well with no problems but you could smell the odor in the exaust when it first started up. I mowed about 10 acres and it ran fine. The next day I went to use the tracor and it would not start. There was no compression. None! I pulled the valve cover off and found all the intake valves were sticking but closing very slowly. After spraying penetrating oil on the stems and tapping on them with a plastic hammer the engine purred again as it always does. I have since drained the fuel AGAIN and took it to a recycler as I should have done in the first place. I hate to brag about how foolish I was but I have never heard of this type of circumstance before.
