We need a bit of discussion here, so I'll post this tip.
If a small engine doesn't want to start after it's sat for quite a while, remove the spark plug and squirt a little fresh gas (it doesn't take much, about an eyedropper full is all) in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug and pull the cord. Once that first combustion occurs, it's usually enough to start drawing gas in from the tank.
I started 4 engines this way today. Worked just fine on both the two cycle and 4 cycle engines.
The gas needs to be fresh. Using the old gas in the tank may not work. Once the machine started, though, it usually ran just fine on the old gas. |
