MTD-B&S 6.75 HP help to stay running

Just cleaning the carb and installing no new parts is just temporary band aid fix and will not last long.

Why is that!!!??????

Just try removing the nut on the bottom of the carb, and cleaning all of the holes in it first. Don't fuss with the bowl much, with luck it will stay stuck on the carb while you do this. The little holes
in your nut/jet will likely be scummed over a lot with varnish goo, partly from the molten baggie juice from the gas cap area. The molten plastic will eventually destroy
your engine, so you may want to get that new/used tank soon...

Wow!!!! It is almost like someone posted this......

The main tube was plugged up also, so removal was a good thing.

Time will tell. No cost is good! The gaskets were ok. Simple task!

Yeah, but that inlet needle/ seat is still there..... I suggested just cleaning of the nut/jet first, because that it doesn't cost anything, and if the running improves,
you know that you are going in the right direction...... The bowl gasket usually shrivels into a booger....

I always advocate the cheapest check/route, to isolate the problem....

Good, the gas will dissolve the plastic, and it will cook on the cylinder wall and bearing surfaces and destroy the engine. I coined the condition long ago, because folks around here will use anything to haul fuel and fuel mix.

I call it "The Milkjug Effect!!!"
