goldacres; said:I'm planning on doing the low cost to no cost troubleshooting first, but will probably end up buying a new battery, new fuel filter and spark plug.
I intend to replace the fuel after draining and pouring in this "Mechanic in a Bottle" stuff that worked on my blower. I've read/heard cleaning the carb "bowl" is a must... what else?
clean the carb real good probably some it over night and blow all the ports out with air put it back on clean out the old gas and clean the tank replace the plug put in a battery check the oil and try to start it and see what happens then kinda go from there but if the gas in the tanks and carb if 4 yrs old its bad and will need cleaned its turned to varnish good luck
Check the float needle valve for proper fuel level function and change that leaking gasket or you'll never get it to run like it should. Nothing should be dripping there and when it isn't dripping it is sucking air.. (bad gasket from carb to engine as it leaks a drip or so every 10 seconds- will change after getting it to run)

This really seems impossible so possibly I'm not understanding what gasket you are speaking of.
a picture is worth a thousands words right? I'll try and snap a pic
