If it had 1/4 tank of gas at time of storage, it very well could be water in the gas. A 1/4 full tank leaves a lot of room for condensation, and only 1/4 tank of gas wouldn't take much water to create a problem. If things ran pretty well when you got new gas, see what happens next time you are out and about. Maybe the water issue is solved.
