I have a Troy Bilt TB430 my neighbor asked me to look at
It won't start.
First thing I noticed is he was not using the correct fuel mix. He has some of the canned premixed fuel 50:1....uggg and he left the fuel in it for months (grrrrr)
I have spark, and compression (95 psi, don't know what is needed), I squirted starting fluid in the carburetor... nothing nada zip zilch, Yank my arm off
I'm guessing the cylinder / piston was damaged by using the wrong fuel mix
