Sounds like you have a plan. How long since the blower has ran?

Last winter. I went to burn the gas out of it in the spring and it wouldn't start. Put fresh gas in it and it still won't start. I'm going to check the spark plug before I take it in. Hopefully that's it.

You're right, it wouldn't be complete without a hospital visit.

Was hoping it was going to be somewhat busy today. Not a whole lot going on it seems.

Starting fluid is your friend in controlled amounts.

Please explain. What and where and how much?

Auto parts store.

A small spritze into the carb with the throttle open and if it will run....this will do it.

I keep 2 cans on the shelf.
When I get my genny's out for a warm up I spray a small amount in the breathers and they lite right off.
2 cycles suck after they sit for a season so chain saws/blowers/weed eaters etc get fresh fuel and a spritze of starting fluid.

OK, going to Auto Zone anyway for wheel grease. Will do a youtube to find the carb, and then will give it a try.

If you got spark, try a short shot of starting fluid as you are turning it over.

Lazy day all around me.

This was the end of winter/beginning of spring that it wouldn't start, so it hadn't sat around for a long time.

Hello red_, I wouldn't want to either.

I assume that is what most people are doing to take advantage of today. Lazy days are good to have once in awhile.

If its stored in a small metal shed, the magneto may need buffed with some fine grit emory cloth.

Damn, getting the stink eye!
