Open the fuel rail supply line at the fuel rail (need special tool) and pump the fuel out of the system until it no longer smells like diesel.

Check the fuel lines for cracks/breaks. If they are o.k., then:

You willneed to disassemble the carburetor and spray with carb.cleaner.Makesure the small screen is free of debris. (Should be able to see daylightthrough it.)

Use a Den Tek Brush, (http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152),to clean the small portals in carb. These portals can become blocked. Reassemble and start.

If the carb. parts are more than 4 years old, you may have to replace them.

If you need further assistance on:
1. Fuel line replacement or
2. Carburetor kit replacement

Just let me know.

Sounds like you will need to clean the carburetor or replace your carburetor internal rubber parts like the diaphgram and O rings.
Be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the fuel and air passages.
Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages.
Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or using starting fluid and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
Keep in mind that the float for the carburetor must be level when you go to reassemble the carburetor or follow the instrucitons you get with the carburetor kit.
If the mower/weedeater is over a year old, then I also recommend that you buy and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need to seat the jet screws.
But before you seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes to seat the jet screws from their original position.
Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper.
That way when you put the jets back in, you know to seat them first and then turn them back out to their orginal position before you started.

77 nova 350 engine won't start I have new spark and distributor cap new wires its bot the starter it's turning over just no combustion I guess.

Check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark try putting very small amount of gas/starting fluid in the carb, if it starts its a fuel problem. check fuel filter and fuel pump. If no spark check coil.

2002 mustang the motor turns over and it gets gas but it wont run gas had water and we empty it and put new gas but it want run

Fuel system may be contaminated. Even if you drain tank it will have water in the injectors. Take a can of starting fluid, have some one turn over engine. Spray a small amount in throttle body. IF engine starts suspect water still in injectors. You may have to repeat several times to clear out. ALSO there is a small valve on fuel line. IT is where you would hook a fuel pressure gauge. YOU can bleed the water out at that point. You can open valve and turn key on and off several times, place a rag over check valve as fuel will spray out! Close valve try and start car

What do you do if you put Regular gas in a Diesel vehicle

try if possile not to run the motor .

the best way will be to drop the fuel tank and totally empty it away if you have only put a small amount of gas in the truck then you can get away with filling it up with fresh diesel

Diesel needs to be manually pumped through - how?

try primming the fuel filter with diesel fuel and starting it if it does not start do it again and again till it starts. heres a tip,after you prime the filter a few time an try to start it spray a small amount of starting fluid in to the carb(not alot just a small amount,one quick shot).Remember this is a diesel so dont keep spraying starting fluid in,you can either lock the engine or mushroom the glow plugs.

My 1997 Chevy Lumina won't start, it sounds like it wants to but it wont turn over, has gas, tried the carb spray, still won't start. Help!!!

did you use carb cleaner or starter fluid. if you try starter fluid and it starts for a second and then dies you might have a fuel pressure issue. if not check for spark.

88 Toyota Corolla backfires through carburetor.

If that is carbureted, and has a mechanical fuel pump, try running a length of fuel line from inlet side of pump to a gas can that has fresh, clean fuel, and if it runs good that way, you know problem is most likely in the tank. Removing the tank & cleaning it out is best solution from there. I'd even be tempted to add a small bottle or 2 of Lucas Fuel Sytem Cleaner to first fill in clean tank, just to help clean lines as well as carb.
