Re: Lawnmower Engine Starting Tips??
Carb is first place I would check for blockage.
NO need to go crazy, just spray in some carb cleaner into it following the directions on the can.
About 5 bucks for a can or less.

Next I would check the muffler, or exhaust port. I had a snowblower that just would always stall out when I went up hills, and it was basically the way the little muffler was designed, that it had too much backpressure stuck in the muffler when It was in that position.

Try taking the muffler off completely.
