Basically, I pulled it out of winter storage, and did the oil and all that, but as is usual for this thing, I have no gas in the carb when I pull the spark plug (it's completely dry). Usually I can just fill the gas tank and shake the crap out of it and eventually it will seep in, but I have heard you can give a spray of carb cleaner or just a few drops of gasoline directly in the spark plug hole to get it crankin' (may take a few tries). Is this true? Or should I pull off the air filter and spray carb cleaner in there and leave the spark plug on?
As long as I am careful and don't add too much carb cleaner/gasoline, I'll be safe, right?
Also, the thing squeals really bad when it first starts up (at least, it did last year). And from pulling it a few times, I think it's going to be the same story this year, too. Any idea where I can grease this thing to make it quit whining, or spray some lubricant? I've got the old 5HP Sears or Craftsman model, I think. It's Red and White and blocky. Can I just spray right where the starter spins in the front when you pull the rope?
