    Great video! Watched this and fixed my generator. After cleaning the carb, it started on first pull after 14 years of inactivity!

    Thanks for the help with my snow blower carb. Got it up and running and ready to work. The Hippa carb cleaning tool kit looks nice.

    I think it’s interesting he says don’t be daunted by this project. He lists so many little parts with names I haven’t heard of. It already feels overwhelming. I think he mentioned some way of shutting off the fuel line and burning off any fuel in the carburetor, for future use. Looking to buy a cleaning kit or some type of sonic bath. Idk if I’ll ever get my generator running again 😊

    I have a generator which sat for a few years on old gas. It now starts up with starting fluid only, but only for a few seconds. Is this likely a gummed carb? Or wouldn't it run at all even with the starting fluid if that were the case?
