Go to Post I'm really impressed with how much effort we'll go to, to avoid buying a $25 servo tester. - MrForbes [more]

Re: Lawnmower Engine Starting Tips??

[quote=sanddrag]

The gas and spark plug are probably old, but as stated it was running okay (until I fiddled with it of course). I will try changing the spark plug (if it isn't seized in there) but I don't really have anywhere to put the old gas so I guess I can just put some new gas in to mix with it.


as probably mentioned in other posts don't mix old gas with new gas just in case theres water in the old gas from built up moisture. make sure you buy the correct sparkplug, change the oil and air filter if any.

Like i said someone probably already posted this but i know that once you do a regular tuneup it should work fine and like others have also mentioned maybe you flooded it and should just let it sit

the spark plug will come already gapped just make sure you bring the old one to a sears store they have a seperate section for lawnmower supplies and might even have a repair shop just for mowers i know the one out by me repairs mowers and has many parts for them =) good luck
