Carscw Lawn Pro Jun 3, 2014 #6 Will it start back up or do you need to wait a few mins before it will start? If you have to wait a few mins check the vent on the gas cap. Ethanol will not clog the carb as long as you are using the gas up every couple of weeks. Even month old gas will not clog up the carb.
