[QUOTE="dominicd, post: 360784, member: 14834"] Thanks for the info. The gas was brand new. I am pretty handy with fixing stuff but have never worked on engines. Do you think a carb cleaning is something I could do myself or should I have a pro do it? To clarify, he only used the starting fluid in an attempt to clean the carbs. There was never any problem with the motor starting. Do the aluminum shavings indicate a definite problem, or could the engine still be fine? The compression wa exactly the same before and after the problem occurred. Thanks [/QUOTE]
