Here's how I fixed mine. (Actually a neighbor was throwing it away so I hauled it home to see if I could fix it. I did!) At the bottom of the carb bowl is a nut. Empty the tank of as much fuel as possible and remove this nut. I believe it was a 7/16 socket. Don't lose the gasket. The nut is part of a threaded bolt that feeds fuel to the carb. There are 4 holes in this bolt that I cleaned with a combination of WD 40, a pin, and compressed air. 2 holes at the bottom that line up with each other. You should be able to see daylight through it. One inside the hollow bolt that I cleaned with air and WD 40 and one other one that goes diagonal at the very tip of the bolt. It is small but there. Done deal!
