Brian is very helpful and caring. It was a pleasure meeting with him and having my son's little two stroke motorcycle's carb cleaned. Thank you!

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If it's sputtering, won't start, dies under load, or makes odd noises, bring it in. A clogged carb and bad spark plug are the most common culprits. Call to describe what's happening and the owner can walk you through next steps.
Price depends on what's broken: a spark plug swap costs far less than a full carburetor rebuild. The owner will give you a clear estimate after he sees it. Call (443) 896-4524 to ask about your specific equipment.

Check that the fuel is fresh and the spark plug is clean. If the engine still won't turn over, the carburetor may be clogged with old fuel. That's when to call and get it in. Troubleshooting over the phone can help, but a hands-on look is best.

Serving Ellicott City
Ellicott City sits in the hills of eastern Howard County. The Patapsco River runs along the edge of town, and the historic Main Street district climbs up from the water. Away from the old town, neighborhoods spread across rolling ground with wooded lots, sloped yards and long driveways. Sloped lawns put extra strain on mower engines and drive systems. Shaded, damp yards let grass clippings and moisture build up under the deck. Maryland's humid summers and cold winters are hard on equipment that sits in a shed between seasons. Fuel left in a tank over the winter goes stale and gums up the small passages in a carburetor, which is why so many machines refuse to start on the first warm weekend of spring.

Why Ellicott City customers need this work
Lawn care here runs from spring into fall, and in humid weather the grass gets away from you quickly once a mower quits mid-season. Hilly yards ask more of an engine. A weak spark, a dirty air filter or a partly clogged carburetor shows up as stalling on inclines or surging at idle. Generators matter too when summer storms knock out power. Sorting out the fuel system, ignition and carburetor before the season starts means your equipment is ready when the grass and the weather turn.
