He is saying the gas is contaminated and dirty, and I'm saying it's not, works fine in other equipment and that the carburetor has a tendency to restrict. It's my gas and my equipment and I don't need him to keep telling me what he thinks from afar the situation really is.
I'm not say that your fuel was contaminated. I used that analogy as an example of fuel being the cause of a problem. Not the carb.
Your problem was fuel related in that it had probably dried up in the carb causing the float needle to stick thus the difficulty in starting.
The dried fuel/varnish would be established as the cause for carb failure if in fact the carburetor is running well now.
Claiming that it was "Chonda Junk" causing hard starting is more than a little off the mark.
OK but even so funny how it has only been the Honda/Chonda equipment that has had this problem. I tend to consider Honda/Chonda carbs junk but that's my opinion. Besides we are assuming here anyway, maybe some particle from the carb its self fell off and clogged the float need or jet nozzle.
