Re: Lawnmower Engine Starting Tips??
You should get real carb cleaner -- if the engine is sort of starting but sputters to death, try using some cold engine start/power start spray, the directions are on the bottle, but basically you'd spray it in the intake and it primes the air with fuel. You should be able to pick this up at any auto-supply store.

As for the spark plug, take it off and see what it looks like -- if its chipped and cracked then I'd change it. Also if its some funny color, please do tell us.
