The antique has survived and the family home is still intact.
Got a new valve down in Or. and didn't pay any sales tax on it. There! mr. smarmy plumber.
I've had good results getting lacquer out of the jets with a bit of Seafoam in the first couple tanks of a season for small engines.
I've had an Echo string trimmer for over 20 years that's still working fine.
Was going to rebuild the carb for the first time last year, but found that a new carb was only $12 so went with that instead.
I keep Marine Stabil in the gas cans too.

yeah, thanks to china, the rebuild kit is $8 +a case of beer + a full saturday playing with tiny little gaskets, or the entire new carb is $12.
usually change the spark plug as well, normally it's about due to change once the carb starts fouling up... at least that's what i've done the last couple garage finds...

And, "what do you do with it when you are done?" I guess the week before amazon delivered a package to the house and he brought it to my aunt to ask her to open it for him because he wasn't allowed. There could be something dangerous inside and he isn't allowed to use scissors or a knife because they are dangerous. He's 20.

lol, i've carried a knife with me every day since 4th grade.
but that sounds like 2 of the last 2 new hires we had. the first daysliterally involved a lesson on turning a screwdriver. but talk to them about comic books, and they'll have more than 8 hours of material to discuss...
