I now have 2 stations I will no longer get gas from. Kentucky uses reformulated gas and it is just bad. I don't have any problems when I get out of the state.

How about some more details? Year? New or Used? Bought from Dealer or Individual? Has there been carb work? Filter change? Stock muffler? Miles?

I would start with draining the carb bowl in a glass jar & see what kinda corruption/water comes out. If its nasty, drain the tank, pull the petcork & see what all kinda crap is in there. May be ahead to pull & flush the tank. Give you a look at the screen on the petcork.
Maybe a nasty spark plug?

How does it idle?
Is the switch sloppy?
What year model? Mileage?
Does it feel like an electrical issue or fuel?
