I've got seven of them right outside my shop right now that are about ready to head for the scrap yard. I've spent way too much time changing gas lines, filters, cleaning the gunk off them and tearing down and cleaning the carbs and they just won't run.
Is there something with the diaprahms in the float pin and seat area that's making them susceptible to leaking from the ethanol fuel being left in them for a while or am I missing something else obvious?
I know a lot of shops that will just point to the dumpster out back but, I'm not a shop yet, just learning the while repair side of things and people actually donate these things to me instead of just tossing them in the dumpster. I try my damndest to get them in working order and sell them to make a little cash.
It's come to the point where I won't take them or definitely won't pay more than $10 for one that looks to be in really decent shape. The whole "It ran last year.." story is like a death sentence for those things.
Any ideas?
