Someone gave me an IDC (now Ryobi) 32cc cultivator and I'm trying to get it
started. It's getting a spark as I can get it to run for a few seconds. I've
put in fresh gas, I took out the carb and shot cleaner through the jets.
Anyone know a site or a newsgroup that may help me?

Thanks

Inquire at the Small Engine Technical Forum
http://www.perr.com/forum/

Be prepared to provide complete model-serial numbers for the engine
(and carburetor if possible). Many knowledgeable folks there. Write
back if they were able to help you.

Also try www.opeonthenet.com

A good sign and in itself, eliminates lots of other possible problems.

It sounds like carburetion to me. You were on the right track there, but I
think you missed a couple things. Did you inspect the float, needle, bowl,
and seat? Or the same areas if a diaphragm type? Disassemble the carb and
clean/inspect. Use a safety wire to ensure all the passages are clear.
Adjust the float (or diaphragm) and reassemble. I think this is causing your
problems.

Yes, my plan exactly for today. I'm not all that great on
disassembly/assembly but I'll take digital pics along the way so I can
remember which peice went where.

I take lots of pics too as I suffer from CRS.
