[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 123232, member: 13825"] also,. since we started using ethanol fuel, many carbs have been about ruined with this crappy fuel , if it was me I would remove the carb, and clean it completely and I don;t mean just spraying it down with some carb cleaner, I mean taking apart and cleaning all parts , removing all dirt and any film or coatings on parts! and all the more so if machine sits often for long periods of time, from a few weeks to months! that coating of varnish that builds on parts, from ethanol fuel can be HARD to remove, requiring special steps to clean(no shortage of ways online if you look) and if your going to take the time to remove and clean the carb, I would also HIGHLY suggest you, drain your tank, and inspect and make sure its clean! as if you do NOT do this, and its a fuel quality issue here, after cleaning your carb, you can again have a DIRTY carb all over again, wasting the time you took to clean it the first time and need a repeating! and my LAST suggestion is, if this machine sits often, is to ONLY use NON ethanol fuel in it, from now on, this will save you a LOT of issues from coming back, YES it will be more of a hassle maybe and even cost a tad more to buy, but it will save you from having fuel issues again! I NEVER use Ethanol fuel in any gasoline motor any more I have that sits for more than a few weeks, and since doing so, no longer have carb or running issue's, when friends of mine always seem too,! IMO its well worth the costs and time to go get it to use! to find NON ethanol fuel, there are many online links to places near you that sell it if you look! here is one for you if you care to look!
