You have very good replies here.

Personally, I'd get this product and follow directions.

Remove the air filter and spray in the carb throat. You can keep the
engine running. It may well wash out small debris / varnish film.
Inside the throat, look for small passage (venturi?) and flush it out
with the spray. Also use under the fuel bowl if you do remove it to
clean the jet, etc.

Got a fuel filter somewhere? Clogged?

NO!!!!!!!!!!
Starting fluid is for starting ONLY - and then only as a "last
resort". It is VERY hard on engines - particularly when used by
someone who does not know how bad it can be, and therefore how to use
it safely.


I'll give the link once mo
