I have an older model not sure of the year but its the 18cc engine and its been sitting for a while with 10% ethanol fuel in it. I can get it to fire up for a few seconds but it wont stay running for more than 30 seconds or so and if you try to give it gas it dies instantly. I am not sure what a new carb cost or if its worth trying to clean the dirty carb?
I also have another one FL25C I bought new in 2012 and it has been running very bad, hard to start and the gas tank leaks pretty bad. I pulled the plug and turned the motor over several times with the pull rope and noticed the piston would be dry like it should be then it would have a flood of gas pour in the cylinder. As I pulled the pull rope it would shoot out a geyser of gas out the spark plug hole. Then it would dry back up continuing to pull the rope then flood again with fuel and so on. Not sure what is causing this?
