I second the fresh gas comment. I bought a wood chipper at a yard
sale at a price too good to pass up. An earlier customer broke the
pull string, so it was not running. The seller told me it was fresh
gas, but even after replacing the fuel lines and rebuilding the
carb, I couldn't keep it running. I drained the seller's gas and
put in fresh gas and it ran fine.<br>
<br>
If you live someplace like California, the gas goes bad pretty
quick. I always add stabilizer to my generator gas and my chipper
gas if I'm not going to finish the tank.<br>

How long since it was used?

<div>If it was not used recently I’d start with fresh fuel. </div>

<div>Check plug for fouling. </div>

<div>If it seems to have the same compression I’d rebuild the
