Re: Briggs and Statton carb problem

Sorry to be a bit of a PiA here - BUT don't use steel wire to clear carb jets - these jets are often brass or plastic and the orifice is very delicate and the orifice end of the jet is very easily damaged.

The best is a plastic tooth pick or something similarly soft but strong - AND NEVER FORCE THE CLEANER INTO THE JET - be gentle
