Problems are much more common with a carburetor, but a fuel injection system can also get effected. Carburetors have very small jets (which are basically holes) that easily get clogged up. I’ve disassembled and cleaned out several gummed up carburetors over the years and hope to never have to do it again.

100 percent correct, best answer. I have rebuilt or installed new carbs because of the gummy varnish left behind, cheap insurance. I have also torn apart fuel injectors that were.gummed up, due to vehicles gas sitting long periods of time.I have used non ethanol gas for over 10 years and have not had any issues unlike 10% ethanol gas.
