Spring’s here — and that means it’s time to fire up the mower, trimmer, or pressure washer. But before you start pulling that cord or flipping that choke, you should know…

Here’s what to check — and why Guerrilla Soundz is the 757’s trusted small engine repair shop to help you get it done right.
Why Spring Tune-Ups Matter
According to Consumer Reports, spring is the busiest season for mower breakdowns — mostly due to old gas, clogged carburetors, or oil issues that sat all winter1.
Regular tune-ups:
Prevent early engine wear
Improve fuel efficiency
Make your gear last years longer
Save you from surprise repairs mid-season
DIY Spring Tune-Up Checklist
Change the Oil
Dirty oil thickens and breaks down after sitting for months.Replace the Spark Plug
Easy and cheap — this can prevent misfires and poor starts.Check & Clean the Air Filter
Dirty filters choke your engine. Foam filters can often be washed; paper ones should be replaced.Empty Old Gas & Clean Carburetor
Stale gas causes 80% of starting problems. Drain tanks and clean or replace the carb.Inspect the Blades & Belts
