I have both a Try Bilt mower and power washer. Both use Brigs and Stratton.
My power washer wouldn't start recently. I tracked the issue down to a fuel problem. Drained the old gas and cleaned the carburetor, including the ports. It now runs better than ever.
My issue was likely old gas but it looks like I might have also had dirt in my gas. There is no fuel filter for these engines. Can one be added? The fuel line from the tank to the carburetor is not very long 5 inches at most. I don't know if I can get a filter in there. Does the filer need to be in a direct line with the carburetor? Or can I place it slightly below the line between the tank and carburetor
