Default Small Engine Repair - advice

"RB" wrote in message

FYI: most "won't run" problems with small engines can be fixed with new
spark plug, air filter, and carb cleaning.

Easiest carb cleaning is to spray it with carb cleaner. At the same time,
put conditioner in gas.

If that doesn't do it, then you may have to actually remove the carb,
disassemble, clean, kit, and re-install. Some of the small carbs are
tough to get to.


instead of disassembling the carb, try dunking it into an ultrasonic cleaner
with proper solvent
