I tried to fire the Yard Dog today after it sat for I don't know how many months. No such luck. I removed fuel lines and blew them out. I disassembled the carburetor and cleaned it out. I found a big ol' daub of hockey blocking the inlet to the needle valve. Reassembled and she runs like a champ.

Seems I have to do this every time I use it, which isn't very often. Today's fuel blends suck.
