Used this plate compactor a month ago and it started perfectly. I intended to come back to it (but didn’t), and left the choke and fuel valve levers in the running positions since then, and now it won’t start. It’s also been outside but covered, so at least mostly protected from rain. Any tips?

Old mixed gas. What to do? Maybe keep around for cleaning gunk off of equipment? One of the morons at work suggested I just dump it in the ground. Sure. I’ll get right on it but hop in this shallow grave before I do, idiot. 🤦‍♂️

my simpson 3000 psi pressure washer runs fine when I pull the trigger but as soon as I let go of the trigger it bogs down and stalls . it seems the valve doesn't want to release the pressure . Could it be that valve. I took it apart and everything moved freely but it still does that

First, thanks for the help dealing with the old engine removal. Finally got the new one installed, but slightly nervous about firing it up...any tips for brand-new engines? I took tons of videos and photos so everything should be hooked up the way it was.

I'm stumped on this one, new spark plug carburetor was taken apart and cleaned and whenever I prime it it does start and run but only runs for like a minute then dies off but then I walked away for a minute or two to come back to it fuel leaking out of front carburetor. Wasn't running when I got it.
