Weather has been nice this week, so I decided to bring the 106 and 107 out of winter hibernation yesterday evening.

The 107 gave me no trouble. Checked for mouse nests (all clear) Hooked back up the battery, which still had a charge, opened the fuel shutoff, pulled the choke, and the engine spun around 10 ish revolutions and then fired right up and ran just as good as it did when I parked it for winter. Took a little drive and all was good.
The 106 was a different story. It fought me but I eventually got it. Didn't take me too long to diagnose that it wasn't getting any gas. Pulled the carb off and there was, what I assume to be ethanol, gelled up in the bottom of the bowl, blocking off the main jet/emulsion tube.

Cleaned it all out, reassembled and reinstalled, then tuned it, and the 106 is back up and running. By then it was too dark out to take any pictures but I did go for a little drive as well.
