    I normally try ro run em out of gas. And run 93. I had just got this on a trade for my toolbox i had. Apparently ol boy didnt believe in running them out of gas haha. There was some gew in the carb i must not have gotten it all out though. I may pull it back off and soak it in acetone like @polarco was saying. Since i cant seem to fine a rebuild anywhere and all the places ive checked online all the jets are out of stock. Its got the kawasaki fh680v as20 engine.

Imma call a gravely dealer near me tomarrow and see if they can get me set up with some parts. Just completely rebuild the carb that way i know its good. In the back of my mind ive been thinking bad gas also so maybe if they dont have the parts i need ill drain the gas out and throw some 93 in it. I also checked the spark and im not getting a real nice blue spark more orange. Apparently these are bad about coils too. Ol boy i traded for this thing gave me the short end of the stick LOL.
    Remove the pin holding the white float and the should be a needle valve there as well. The solenoid one is a secondary shut off incase the float valve sticks open

    No problem. If that gets gummed up it would let fuel into the bowl and it will starve it for gas and wont run. Get some 2+2 gum cutter and remove and clean it good. Blown through the fuel line inlet port and you should have good flow. Them push up on the float and the flow should stop. Good luck
