So the grass is starting to grow and it is time to dig out the lawn equipment that been collecting dust. Before you try to start up your machines it’s a good idea to give it a tune up. This is the full throttle tune up.
1. Empty out any old fluids (Gas, Oil, Bar oil, Etc.)
2. Remove fluid filters and spray carb cleaner through the filters in the opposite direction of the flow. Blow out with compressed air and let dry. Or just replace them.
3. Remove spark plug and check for wear on the electrode. Lightly brush with a soft copper brush, blow out with compressed air and re-gap to manufacture specifications. Or replace.
4. Check the plug boot for carbon or rust build up, Clean if necessary with a small squirt of PB or WD and compressed air
5. Remove the air filter and clean to the best of your ability with compressed air, if it is to dirty replace it.
6. Blow out your fluid caps lightly with compressed air.
7. Replace all your fluids to the full mark and attempt to start it, If all is well is should start right up. It may be necessary to retune the carburetor once the machine is at optimal running temperature.
Side notes. It may take a little extra oomph for the first start because the machine is completely dry and it takes a minute for all the lines to fill with fluids. Also spray a small amount of lubricant in the cylinder through the spark plug hole to minimize wear from a dry start.
