Throttle Killing the motor?

[Charlie Foxtrot]

Alright, I drained the carburetor float bowl, or so I'm assuming I did, and I let it drain until it was strait gas that was coming out. How does water get in there anyway? At first it smelled like water and then it smelled like water and gas and then finally just gas so I'm assuming i drained it correctly. The battery was dead though so I couldn't see if that is what the problem was. I am currently charging the battery over night and I will reinstall it tomorrow to see if that was all that I needed to do. If not then I will add the gas treatment along with a full tank of fresh gas to see if that helps.

One question that I have is will a higher octane fuel remove any gunk that is in the carburetor such as 105 octane or will that just cause a failure of the spark plug? Or should I just stick with the gas treatment?
