Worked!

Would Recommend

I was trying to get my fathers old roto tiller to work. It hasn't been used in at least 8 yrs. Note: I tried to use it as on the bottle. That didn’t work so i thought maybe fuel wasn't getting to carb. Took carb off and checked fuel lines and openings. Then took carb apart. Inside was badly varnished. I put this stuff right in the bowl, closed it back up for a night. Opened it up the next day. Wiped it out. Put back on machine. Gassed it up. 1st pull it fired right up. Sent back relacement carb ...
