My McCoullagh 5500w does not start anymore. I'm pretty sure it's a clogged carb.
Do they make kits for it?

I expect some sort of sucker of the year droppie from this come droppie time.

You have me email address,it will be much easier for me to discuss your problem over the phone and have images texted to me to verify what kind of system you have.

I had that problem yesterday. I simply removed the bowl under the carborator and cleaned with starter fluid. I had to remove crank cover to remove it and had to remove carborator to put all back together. Just be careful when removing parts, there is a spring under the float in the bowl. It will fall out and get easily lost.

It took me about an hour to do it yesterday, but I could do it in about 10 mins now, pretty simple.

edit - plus I changed the spark plug

You can clean the carb and the jets, soak it in freak gas, get the funk out and it should work. New gas works too.
