Location: Elk River, Minnesota | If the motor was never stored properly, it would not matter if it was ethanol blend or not...it's gummed up. It would happen with ethanol free.
The thing with ethanol is is attracts water...therefore, if there is water in the gas it can do a few things to a motor when it sits for a length of time...rust being the primary issue. With that short of time, though, I would doubt rust would be an issue...
The carbs will get a rebuild, and whatever you do, get rid of the gas you have and start fresh. Probably wouldn't hurt to run some sea-foam or power tune through the engine as well to clean out any gunk that might be on cylinder walls, etc.
