Oh, and on a small engine, drop the bowl, make sure the spring to the float is operating. Not hard, needs no mechanic. Lift it up, fuel flows, let it go, fuel stops. (Lift it up at the front of the unit)
80% of the problems with small-engine stuff is fuel-related, btw.
Use Sta-bil in all fuel you intend to put in all your lawn equipment, always.
Snow blowers too. It was for anal folk in the past, not so now.
It's an ethanol thing, trust me. Forget any previous advice regarding things like "ethanhol shield", etc. Your 2013 gas is good for 30 days in your small engines, 30 days. Sta-bil extends that to 12 months. That is the manufacturers of the actual engines talking. They all dig it and monitor this so very closely, as their shit is coming back mostly due to the bad gas.
