Daddles,
I have a Stihl which occasionally exhibits the same symptoms. I must admit to being a bit of a Scrooge and not throwing the old mixed up fuel out though.
I find that I only need to clean the carbon out of the muffler (small diameter pipe inside it actually) and I am away for another 12 months or so.
regards

Check the Pick-up Bulb in the Petrol tank, if it has one.
these often crack,
like the rest of the parts.
If we're throwing names and ages around.

Dont know the answer to your imediate problem, I have a Ryobi myself and it just keeps going, however on one occasion my fuel had been stored on the concrete floor in the shed, and this caused a reaction with the fuel can, now I sit the fuel cans in a milk crate which lets a bit of circulation get under the tin, no moisture no problem.
