Re: testing tank for 2hp
Yeah, for cleaning the carb, you must remove it from the engine. Not a hard thing to do. If you don't have one, a repair manual is a must. The genuine version specificaly for the motor works best (with pics. etc) Make sure the gasket between the carb and engine doesn't tear, if so get a new one, or use gasket sealer.<br /><br />If the float bowl hasn't been drained (when not in use ex. winter time) the gas may become gummy and start pluging the jets that spray the fuel/air mixture into the intake of the engine. <br /><br />Carb rebuild kits are also available, but are expensive (kinda) and normaly replace worn out O Rings etc. But, seeing how your motor is relatively new it shouldn't be a problem.<br /><br />You could let the carb sit in solvent overnight to break down the skunge (gas residue) Best to take out the rubber pieces, and possibly soak the jets seperately.<br /><br />Hope this helps.
