My mother had issues every year with her mower.I removed that carb and cleaned black rust out all the time.
She always said it is new gas.
Yea but the gas can was 45 year old steel can with rust all in it.
Water plays bad games also.
I had an issue with some debris in the fuel inlet on a carb 1 tiny piece of rubber that would lay flat sometimes and other times go sideways and allow fuel to flow.
Had to remove the seat to find it. That was a motorcraft 2 barrel in the desert when it finally quit.
I had the carb off and all apart spread out on paper towels in front of my E150 Van.
Not a single car went by in the 30 minutes or so it took me to find and fix the issue.
Do not want to be stranded there.
