OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Briggs & Stratton Engines Intek 5.5HP backfires on (not) starting

Hi Grumpy, that little jet on the left you can see in the picture (is it an air bleed?) was blocked when I first cleaned the carburettor but it still wouldn't start after cleaning it. Once started, with a good fuel prime or choked with a rag, it would start and run on that bad fuel without any problem. I think this fuel is at least part of the problem but I may not be out of the woods yet.
