Mechanic said fuel broke down and gunked everything up. Added an inline fuel filter. Will always fill and add stabilizer. from now on. Will start and let it run for a while each month also.

Do you have a fuel cutoff? You can typically run the fuel out of the carb/bowl with a cutoff. On my Champion, I flip the fuel mechanical switch and let it run until it dies. It will sputter as the fuel runs out of the carb. This way it makes it harder to gunk up.
