Anyone have small engine repair skills?? BigD??
I drained and changed the oil.The gas tank was already empty but removed the carburetor bowl emptied it and cleaned. Fresh gas. Removed and cleaned the spark plug.
Can't get it to crank for shit. Removed air filter just to get it started. Any other ideas??
Quoting: Nefarious Libertine Has it been sitting with gas in it over a year? Use some spray carburetor cleaner and make sure you clean out the jets in the carb when the bowl is off and if possible spray out the carb. Did you check what the spark plug looks like? does it try to fire? Is the plug clean?  No I drained the tank when I put it up. Got it to crank and run for about 30 seconds with a quick blast of ether. I just cleaned the bowl and float. Looks like I'll have to pull the carb and do a thorough cleaning of it. Spark plug is good. Is gas getting through the filter? Seems odd the carb would need cleaning if you drained it? Float stuck? Hooked the gas line up with the bowl off and had gas coming in. Float worked fine. I thought my troubles were over when it finally cranked up and ran. Was even able to turn the choke off and it smoothed out just fine. Then it died and won't start again. Can get it to turn over with an ether inject but dies right after. I've done got aggravated with it LOL. and I don't like doing the ether spray to much.
