It's not the gas. As I mentioned, I have some stored gas that is older than that, and it works fine.
What probably occurred is that you left enough gas in the tank and/or the carb (over winter) for it to create residue and clog the carb. Also, if the machine is getting older, it might have been due for a carb clean out anyway, and it was coincidence that the carb happened to poop out when you put gas in it.
