    18 HP vanguard carburetor?
    I have an 18HP Vanguard on my DR Wood Chipper. I started it once and did some chipping but it would not start a few hours later. I decided to change the plugs and fuel filter [air filter was fine]. Still the engine will not start. I removed the air filter and sprayed some starting fluid in the carb. It would start but only run for a couple of seconds. Any suggestions would be appreciated. - Jim
