EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Off topic, but someone here might know.

Let's say that someone accidentally put bad gas in their child's 4-wheeler and now the 4-wheeler does not work.  Is there any hope of fixing it?    I have since drained all of the bad gas out. 

I've delt with this. Should be fine. See if it has a drain bolt on carb also. Put good gas in WITH some dry gas, crank it over till it starts. It will clean out. Might have to dry spark plug, I use break cleaner spray, and then spray wd-40 in the cylinder (also works as a mild starting fluid).
If the gas went bad IN the 4-wheeler, whole nother story, this ethanol gas gunks up carbs and injectors, eats away seals, usually carbs will need rebuilding. Use long storage Stabil in anything that will set for over a month. Anything I have that I use high test in like my chainsaws I get the ethanol free gas, and still use Stabil.
 
What year, make and model is it? Does the manual say "electronic fuel injected" or does it have carburetor(s)? You might also have to replace the spark plugs.

Um... I am not mechanically inclined... I just wanted to make sure if I took it somewhere, to know what to expect them to say really. So I don't get taken advantage of.

It is a 2016 model, not sure brand, etc... I got it for my daughter for her birthday and within a month I ruined it. :(

Call a couple of places for quotes and have them explain what they would do, then compare that to what all of us said.

Kathy, if I suspected worms in my flock how many (in any) fecal samples would I need to bring in? I have a flock of 50 and I've never wormed any of them. I've picked up several that felt thin in the keel, but they've all been 4-6 mos. I haven't handled the older birds recently. I've also seen some foamy, mustardy poops around the yard. Poop boards look pretty much normal.

I've read that people collect a bunch from one pen, place in ziplock bag, and stir well. They do this for the different pens and that seems to work for them.
