i was working on one of my older engines yesterday. i tried to pull start it an nothing happened. so i used some carb stuff and sprayed some in the carb. I also swap spark plugs with one of my mower. i tried it again and the engine pops. i backfired some through the carb and the exhaust pipe. it sounds like the engine is coughing and tryin to start. what i am goin to do is get a new spark plug. but my question is shouls i change my gas and oil since it has been sittin in there for months? the gas don't look sluggy or smells to old. is there any thing else i could try to help start the engine easier?
