It's an old 5HP Montgomery Ward garden tiller, and it just will not start. The spark plug is new, and it is full of gas and has fresh oil and a new air filter as of last year. It worked fine when we put it away for winter. The problem seems to be that there is no gas getting to the spark plug (if you pull the plug, the chamber under it is dry... There is no smell of gas). Is it safe for me to pull the air filter (which sits on top of the choke) and give it a spray of carb cleaner and let it sit for a bit, and then to try and start it? Or perhaps something is plugged up in the fuel line?
I've never taken one of these apart, and I'd say it's fairly old... At least 20-30 years old. Any ideas on where to start?
