    Those little engine run on a mix of oil and gas as you know. The gas evaporates faster than oil so you get some sludge and junk after a seaon of sitting. Dump the fiel and add just a cup with a few onces of SeaFoam or other good carg cleaner. Keep it running by primimng frequently and the carb cleaner should get rid of the junk.
