Im borrowing my grandfather's sears edger, which is probably 20 years old. Very simple design. He has had trouble starting it (granted he is nearly 89), so uses a little starting fluid.
I didnt have any, and I read that carb cleaner may actually be better for small engines as it is easier detonation-wise.
Anyone know if this is the case? I just know it worked, and smoked white like crazy for a good 15-20 minutes of use.
If one sprays carb cleaner into an operating carb, is there any cleaning that would notionally go on, or is it just flashed off so fast that it is irrelevant. Id like to try to get it working better for him before I send it back to him.
Thanks!
