Note

Once you have put a new carb in, it is better to use fresh gas and start it up to make sure it runs well. Do not use the cheat gas in your small engine equipment, always use the premium fuel and make sure to get fuel without ethanol, the cheap fuel with ethanol will end up damaging your carburetor.
