For everyone's dining (pun) and dancing pleasure, I've got the parts to rebuild the gas grill. The Weber is unlike the other tin-can grills. I've had a dozen of each, and the Weber is the best. After over 20 years, I've finally got to replace the burner.
Again, the Weber is not like the rest. I could never remember until I looked at it, but during new assembly you start with the burner and you build the rest of the grill around that burner.
So, grand plan, I'll pressure wash that thing while I've got it scattered out in the yard, the first time ever. After over 20 years.
The pressure washer has a Honda Easy Start engine on it. And it won't start. It's been under the house for years with gas sitting in the tank. Am I surprised it won't start? Nope, There's nothing "Easy" about it.
So, the obvious assumption is the carb is all gunked up. I put it back under the house. The last time it wouldn't crank I sent it to a local small engine guy and he kept it for 3 months. We'da never gotten it back, except I badgered him into submission on the telephone.
I know even less about a small engine than I do a big one. But I'm sitting here thinking.....I'm not entirely helpless. If I tear this thing apart and it never runs again, I'm in the same place that I am right now - it won't run.
Maybe tomorrow, not today. Small engine advice is much needed. I've tried to rebuild a car carb before, except when I saw all the tiny parts, I took the kit back to the store.
