More adventures in snow-blower/small engines.

Recall the issue is that the engine starts RIGHT UP, runs for 30 seconds, then dies. Restart, runs 30 seconds again, then dies. Etc.

I took the housing off to expose the carburetor. Removed the bowl. Lots of flow of gas, so the idea that the gas line is not flowing properly is wrong. What a mess!

After I took off the bowl I did spray the needles and float and innards, best I could, with cleaner. I only had "throttle body" cleaner which I think is good enough.

I did not get a chance to test if this solved the problem, but will issue a report later today.
