Mistreated Briggs & Stratton 206 CC Engine on MTD Chipper
Removed tank and drained old gas.
Removed and disassembled carb. Needed new gaskets and seals, and had to clean corn syrup glaze (separated ethanol) from bowl and everywhere else with carb cleaner.
Throttle linkage was de-plating/rusty. Steel wool and WD40 got it moving again.
Cleaned spark plug electrode.
Reassembled, poured Sea Foam in the bottom of the tank and gave it a few pulls.
Let Sea Foam sit for a while, then filled the tank with Premium.

old valve dripped gas when opened on cold sub zero day
old valve easily pulled out with screwdriver and pliers

install difficult due to 40 degree cold temp and bushing didn't want to squeeze into fuel tank hole

install required lots of liquid soap on bushing, which popped into place by using upward prying pressure from 3"X24" plywood braced into under-shelf of gas tank

used same technique to insert valve upward into bushing

works great!
