This demonstration guide answers one field question about fuel and moisture left after the last use. Measurements come before parts, and the notes are not a generic equipment FAQ.
Diagnose before replacing parts
Start with empty bowl versus stabilizer documentation. That reading separates fuel and moisture left after the last use from adjacent faults that share the same complaint.
If the measurement is out of spec, treat the fuel system as the primary path. If it is in spec, do not replace the fuel system just to complete a parts list.
Repair the failed system
The usual correction is the fuel system, installed to the documented spec for this complaint.
A demonstration shop records the finding so the next technician is not repeating a guess about fuel and moisture left after the last use.
Stop before you make it worse
Do not fogging and then storing the machine on its side. That shortcut hides the original measurement and creates a second failure.
If the machine still fails after the fuel system is corrected, convert the visit to a broader diagnosis rather than stacking parts.
