I have a Tecumseh 4.5 HP engine, and it had set for quite a while before I

blame the ethenol in the gas]. It is beyond what I am willing to try to
repair.
Where best to get a replacement carb?
Does it have to be an OEM?
Thanks in advance

I took the carb off my HM80 in to a tool rental/small engine shop and
had it rebuilt for IIRC about $50. It is now back to starting on the
first pull.
