Get your Troy-Bilt Power Washer Running again! (Unusual problem....)

Many pressure washers sit so long between uses...the old gas can clog the carburetor, and I fully expected that to be a problem here. (See part 2 for how to remove, clean, and re-install the carburetor). But today's problem was one I did NOT expect....Please see what I discovered, and let me know your thoughts on how it might have happened. Thanks. Buckwsr, putting the "Do" into "Do-It-Yourself."
