Pull the gas tank and flush it, then replace the grommet and clean the fuel valve. The fuel lines and fuel filter should be replaced to prevent pushing decaying hose particles into the fuel pump and carburetor. Pour a bit of motor oil into the spark plug holes, then crank the engine up to a minute with the spark plugs out, while doing this watch to see if the fuel filter is filling and the spark plugs are sparking with them attached to the wires and laying against a metal part of the engine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
