Hi, first time poster. I've had this 1.2hp Gamefisher for about 5 years now, worked somewhat tempermentally the first two years I had it and then sat unused the last 3 years. I tried to start it the other day and it didn't so I figured I should start by draining the gas (old stuff was 3 years old) and maybe think about taking the carb apart a bit and soaking it overnight in carb or fuel injector cleaner. So I took the tank off to drain it and figured I'd remove the fuel sediment bowl too as I could see it had a fair bit of brown crud in it (corrosion I guess). I tried blowing air through it (not compressed air) to see if the passages could be clogged and could blow air easily through the exit passage and out where the fuel bowl would normally be but not through the in passage at all. Is there supposed to be that much resistance or is it likely there is some kind of obstruction or clog? I removed the valve and am soaking it at the moment and for overnight in STP fuel injector cleaner. Will that melt/wreck the rubber gasket in the valve? Any advice appreciated, thanks, Ross
