A carb is a very precise device and the slightest amount of gum/varnish or dirt particles inside will make it fail. If you have a fuel shut-off valve I suggest you turn of the fuel and let the motor run until it uses all the fuel in the float bowl. This will prevent a gum/vanish build up inside. If no fuel shut-off valve then run the equipment every 4-6 weeks for 20 minutes. This will replace the old gas in the carb with fresh gas and also burn off any moisture in the crank case. Use a fuel stabilizer and don't store gas more than 2 years. It's what I do and have no issues with my small engines. To make it easy for yourself to remember when and how often you can think of it like a maintenance program for Kym. :-) :-)Mike Yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350717597229013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-75640376825317428472014-08-11T14:53:25.101-03:002014-08-11T14:53:25.101-03:00wow great job! wow great job!

A job well done on the ATV!!!!
We...Jambaloney,<br /><br />A job well done on the ATV!!!! <br /><br /><br />We use a permanent marker on each gas can identifying what piece of equipment it belongs too. Thank goodness we don't have little critters chewing off the valves on the cans. We do however,have rabbits, and they recently found their way into my garden. We fixed the problem, and then found them back in the garden. So we looked for another hole, and found it. They seem to like the straw, along with some of the grass (aka weeds). It looks as if were going to run new fencing in the garden next just before next spring. <br /><br />Give Sweet Kymber a hug.<br />Love to you both,<br />Sandy and BDMSandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-34517856431432098212014-08-10T20:17:23.384-03:002014-08-10T20:17:23.384-03:00Bravo, Sir, Bravo.

I use in-line fuel filters on stuff that doesn't seem to have any filter, the carb is the filter most of the time.<br />If you had tractor girls like PP has then they would keep all the engines clean and you would have few problems, they will even kill vermin for you.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-30358672420532055582014-08-10T16:25:42.947-03:002014-08-10T16:25:42.947-03:00Oh ya and exterminate all Vermin!!!

Stay away from Ethanol. And treat that gas with stabil or something. Since I started doing that my maintenance issues and money spent has decreased by 60% or more. I also just made myself go around every month and start everything up and let it run a few minutes.<br /><br />I have also found that the mixture levels are a bit misleading at times and you can sometimes get a small engine going that is hard to start by increasing the mixture level a tiny bit. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but going higher seems to be ok but not lower. I had a 30 to 1 saw that wouldn't start and run for crap but once I put a 40 to 1 mixture in it it ran like a top.<br /><br />Always something with small engines.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.com
