I bought a 1650 that had "set for 8 years" and have beeN chasing gremlins for the last 5 months. So the latest one was, after installing the tiller, I made almost a full pass, (the first pass) and it refused to run.
After a trip to the barn to get some tools, I noticed fluid dripping! I pulled it apart and physically closed the float with my hand and turned on the gas. No drip! To me that signaled no crap in/on the needle so I shut off the fuel and removed the float and shook it. ALAS!!! My float had turned into a sink.
A quick shake will often indicate a leaking float quicker often than a good inspection as a pinhole or tiny crack may be difficult to find.
Good luck with your problem and HAPPY CUBBING!!
