"I'm the original owner of a 1998 2 hp used now and then as auxilary power - very low hours. A few years ago it developed a miss. I took the carb apart and sprayed cleaner in it. Worked ok until this year; I use fuel stabilizer now. Similar problem developed. For several days I've tried various degrees of cleaning - spraying with carb cleaner, running with cleaner in fuel, and disassembling and soaking in Gunk carb cleaner. Installed new gaskets and NGK sparkplug. Now starts on one pull cold or hot. Runs a little better. Idles great, but misses at higher revs. Tried to order a new carb, but was told Honda no longer supplied carbs for this engine. Any ideas? Would a shop charge more than the motor is worth to fix it? Thanks!"
