    Thanks Ghost Rider I think I will do that, I'm sure youtube will have something to assist me with instructions on cleaning the carb.

    last year...snowblower wouldn't stay running...the carb kept overflowing...took the whole thing apart and there was this little tiny assed plastic pin with a tiny assed piece of rubber on it and I mean tiny tiny...I thought it was a piece of dirt...it had a crack in it and was falling off so I picked the rest of it off...figured how important can this thing be?


    ...turns out very! lol

    ordered and new piece put everything back together and she fired up first pull and stayed running and didn't piss gas everywhere, was shocked how such a small part plays such a big roll

    anyways...point being...be carefull cleaning...sometimes shit that looks like dirt...isn't LOL

    I get my tuned up about every 4 years by a local guy in his garage. Cost me $75.00 for service.
    He says drain the excess fuel and leave a tiny bit. Start it and run it dry. Something about the crap winter gas we use.
    Anyways been doing this for years and it always starts and runs like a champ all season.

    i always use sea foam and make sure the tank of gas it is stored with is shell high octane
    same with the chainsaw,roto-tiller,trimmer,generator etc makes them easy to start up later
