Never seen a frozen gov. like that. did see a oddball deal a couple weekends ago. guy tried to start his kohler . fired off,ran a few seconds , died , would not restart. so he brings it over.It has spark,appears to not be getting fuel. I pull the fuel line off between the fuel pump & carb , hit the starter . all kinds of gas. try ti start it again , no go. took the air cleaner off, took the float bowl off . its empty. hit the starter. no gas coming in. this unit has a fuel pump with a gravity feed tank also. soI kneel down for a good look , thats when I noticed that the inlet needle was stuck into the seat. tap the side of the carb with a wrench. it drop down. hit the starter. got gas now. put it back together & he drove it home. total time 15 minutes, look on guys face priceless.
