Deteriorating fuel line between filter and carb is more likely. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tank will be removed and cleaned, new fuel lines, filter, carb rebuild, and reassemble. 👍 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sailman 1,291 #8 Posted November 14, 2022 Run ONLY non-ethanol gas. Costs more but absolutely essential in all small motors! Garden Tractors, weed eaters, leaf blowers, dirt bikes, outboard motors, etc...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garden Tractors, weed eaters, leaf blowers, dirt bikes, outboard motors, etc...... That is all I run. This is a unit I picked up a couple weeks ago. It wouldn’t start right away and it only ran on full choke. Thus why the owner decided to part with it and buy a cheap Husqvarna to replace it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
