Whenever I work on a small engine that has sat for awhile with bad gas in it, I get a flat piece of cardboard on a table for a clean work space, and I pull the carb off, and remove all small parts, (noting the adjustment screws placement) and pieces including jets, floats, needles. The then spray all of the tiny holes with carb cleaner, and blow through them to ensure no blockages. I wipe off each individual piece, and put it all back together (probably a total of 15-16 parts/pieces) shake the float around to hear if it has fuel inside of it...(it shouldn't).

This will usually fix any fuel problem, and take only about 1/2 hour of total time.
