Great post!!!
However, I don't agree with some of the posts after the original. It's probably a good idea to clean the float bowl periodicaly, but there is no reason to remove the jet unless it's dirty or plugged.
I, also don't put much credence in the "bad gas" theory. I have left untreated gas in my "twins" for several winters. It may have taken a little squirt of gas in the spark plug or through the carb to first get it started, but once they start, I have never had a problem.
Since they have no filter, it's imperative to be careful handling the fuel. I would never use a steel can (that could rust) or never completely empty the can when refilling.
I'm not much for "snake oil", but if they run a little rough, Sea Foam is by far the best stuff I have found. It sure beats tearing the carb apart if you don't have to!
