I always put fuel filters on my lawn mower, snow blower, edger, etc etc. I put them on all my kids tools too. Once you do this they will run fine for the life of the device. 99.9% of all small engine problems are dirty carbs. Because these are such small engines, they require very little fuel. As a result the jets in the carb are about the diameter of a human hair and the clog up very very easily. Put a fuel filter on it and it will start right up and run great until the unit simply wears out from age. Small engine repair shops make their whole living by "fixing" peoples lawn mowers when it is nothing more than dirty/clogged carbs.
