Rick,

I have one I picked up at an auction a couple of years ago that no one else 
wanted.  I fired it up with Coleman fuel and high test gas.  I think high test 
gas will work fine, just need to drain out due to going bad like you said.  
When I first fired mine up, I took it outside and placed it on top of the well 
concrete casing and had the fire extinguisher handy just in case.  I did find 
one small fitting leak that needed tightening.  Works just fine!
