VerifiedHello. Thank you for choosing Just Answer. My name is Donald. I will be happy to assist you.
You will notice an automated offer for a phone call. Please keep in mind that this offer is only optional and is not always needed. If you prefer to chat, rather than talk on the phone, please disregard this phone call offer. Thanks!
In the meantime, if you have some carburetor cleaner in a can, spray a small burst directly into your carburetor to see if your engine will start and run briefly.
