Good luck
Let us know how it turn out.
Only one way, really.

It's possible there is significant moisture in the fuel, and that you will occasionally draw it up. When that happens you get a brief misfire/sputter.

Drain the tank and the floatbowls and fill with fresh gas - 87 without ethanol is the best choice. 2nd best is lowest octane that doesn't have ethanol.
