Re: Lawnmower Engine Starting Tips??

I took out the plug and discovered it was all black so I replaced it with a Champion EZ start plug (which didn't make it start any EZer). I also replaced most all the old gas with new gas. I still can only get it to run by putting a little gas right into the carb, and then it only runs for a few seconds until all of that gas is used up. It is like it is not taking gas from the tank.

I was going to get some carb cleaner but on the can it says in capital letters "do not spray into carb when engine is not running" and I can't get the engine to run long enough to spray anything in there while it is running.

Also, the carb makes a sucking/hissing sound if that makes any difference.

Thanks.
