I'm glad so many people are having success by using this method!! For the few people who haven't had luck with this, check out my newer video for the same type of engine. I'll teach you how to clean the plastic carburetor and show you where it's likely to be clogged at. Keep commenting, I love hearing about your success.

Ok I like it it
Jeff Let me know how it works out! Good luck!

Hey, yesterday my lawnmower had some issues. First it started turning off while cutting grass, so I notice leaking oil, and next smoke. Do you know what it could be?
Can a can of air be used if I don't have an an sure compressor?
DUDE!! I was just getting ready to buy another lawn mower this morning. Tried this method and my lawn mower is running like it never stopped!! Thanks for this!!
Awesome! Glad it worked for you too!
Great advice! It worked for me. Mower sat all winter with gas in the tank because I'm an idiot. It wouldn't even turn over when pulling the cord.... NOTE: It took about 10 minutes of spray, try it, spray, try it - alternating between carb cleaner and starter fluid. On multiple attempts it would run for a few seconds then sputter and stop. My wife was sure I didn't know what the heck I was doing and as each minute passed, I grew increasingly worried she'd was right. Then it caught and I strutted around the lawn - with the mower.
"Mower sat all winter with gas in the tank because I'm an idiot." - I think that's why most of us are here lol. I initially thought it was the spark plug, and my wife was watching me while I replaced it and started losing confidence in my abilities when it didn't work. This time I am going to wait until she's out of the house to fix it first, then I'll set it up and get her to watch as I miraculously repair it. Husbanding is a fine art!
Honestly man thank you so much. As a young man who's father never taught me these sorts of things it's incredibly helpful that there's guys like you on the internet showing us how to do some of these basic things. I was close to buying a new mower but you saved me over $200 with this short video. Thank you so much.
That's amazing! Thank you for sharing your success. I'm glad that this helped!!
Learn to clean the carb and fuel system. The issue will return next season
Throw your dad under the bus why don’t you!!
Simple video... straight to the point with no unnecessary bloat... And it helped me get my mower going this season. Great job and keep it up!!
Thank you much!
Awesome video....about a month ago I took my lawn mower into our local repair shop because it wouldn’t start. When I first got it back it started fine but it got tougher to start every time until the point I could not get it to start at all. I wasn’t going to take it back to the shop for another $80 so I searched out RUclips and found your video. Well, I just saved myself $74 dollars by watching your video and going out and buying carb cleaner and starter fluid. Your solution was spot on and I can’t thank you enough. Got my mower fired up using your tips. Keep the great videos coming!
Such a simple fix! Glad it worked for you too bud!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been looking through many videos and have tried everything under the sun ( or so I thought) and thought I was never going to get my mower to run. Until I found this video. I got my mower running after almost 4 years of sitting. Thank you again.
That’s excellent! Glad it worked for you!
Your process got my mower working again. $3 spark plug and a $4 can of carb cleaner versus $90+ repair bill and a 5 week waiting period. Thank you!!
The waiting period is an excellent point! It's rare that this time of year you could drop off a mower and have it looked at immediately. Mower shops are swamped. Glad it worked for you too!
yeah... 5 weeks waiting is ridiculous. The grass would have been 1 yard tall. LOL. My mower started then stopped after 1 min. I spent $17 for a new carburetor and replaced it and it works now.
@@liuhongqian Where did you find a carburetor for $17.00?
@@navigator3744 I bought it on Amazon in 08/2021. Now it's sold out and a similar model sells for $24
@@liuhongqian I found it and bought it. When I have time I'm still going to take the old carb apart and clean it, but right now I don't have the time. Thanks for the info.
Hello friend. My lawnmower wouldn't start. I watch one of your videos. Did exactly what you said. Now my lawnmower is running like a champ. You save $$$$ from buying a new lawnmower. Thanks again!
I love it. I’m glad it helped you too! Thanks for sharing.
You are truly a life saver and i save a lot money not haven't to buy another lawn motor thank-you to one friend to another
Too bad my mom is making me watch this
These engines get thrown out all the time and just need cleaning. If you are going to throw your mower out and buy a new one, I suggest looking at RUclips videos and learn how to clean everything and the basic steps of diagnostics first. What do you have to lose? 10 buck says you take your time, clean it up and save 100 bucks!
Have a different lawn mower. Brother bought a brand new carburetor, this and that and after watching your video all we needed were the two cans. Two thumbs up.
Thank you! Glad it worked!
I just wanted to thank you, I clogged my lawn mower last time I used it and it will not start so that I can fix my yard for the first time this year. I went to Walmart and bought oil and carb cleaner and it works. You saved me from buying a new one/repairs. Thanks again!
Glad to hear it worked for you too! Thanks for sharing your success!
Amazing! Definitely was struggling. Had the lawnmower up and running in no time!! Thank you sir!!
Awesome, glad this helped and that you got it! Money saved!!
Thank you!! I was able to fix my lawnmower quickly after watching this! Saved me $90!
That’s what I like to hear!!! No one wants to spend money on a mower repair. Now you can spend it on something better. Thanks for sharing your success!
Thanks. I got an old mower with my new house and I'd left mine behind a couple houses ago. I replaced the black oil, and gave it an air filter and it worked fine until this winter after a month or so. Finally put a new spark plug and WD everything as i also sharpened the blade but it start and stalled like your video. Luckily the former owner who never did maintenance on the mower had 2 cans on Carb Cleaner. Did what you did just with that and no Quick Start and it did the trick.
That’s awesome! Glad it worked David! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for this video! All the other videos had you take the mower apart but you, you just made it more convenient and easy for me lol. Literally spent $2 for a carburetor spray to fix the problem.
Thank you! I get a lot of comments of "you aren't doing it right", or "you need to take it apart"... The whole purpose of this video is to show people that you DON'T always have to do that. This cheap and easy fix works for a lot of people and should be the first thing to try. Glad it worked for you too!
It's pretty funny how you totally owned the issue, like a god of lawnmower troubleshooting! ;)) Really a great style of solving things, especially the "rule out" method you're using which finally brought you to the conclusion it had to be a fuel issue, bravo!
Thanks for the great feedback! I appreciate it! When troubleshooting, I'm kind of a "divide and conquer" kind of guy. Rule out what's not relevant and focus on the most probable issues. If you were having a similar issue, I hope this helped you get it fixed!
I didn’t think that would work! But it did thanks for sharing this 👍
I have the same mower and after several years, it had the same issue. The carburator
cleaning fluid worked the first time. Thanks for the advise!!
Awesome, I'm glad it worked out for you too!! Thanks for sharing your success.
Glad your method worked. This is good for people that don't want to take apart everything. My method would have consisted of checking the fuel, air filter, spark and then pulling the carburator off and cleaning it. I'm surprised you were able to pull this off, but I bet the problem comes back. Something is dirty in the fuel system and needs to be completely referbished though cleaning and or part replacement. If I don't get it to start in 3 or 4 pulls, inspection and removal of parts will happen so I can save my shoulder. LOL! Glad you got it working!
Yea I fix and sell mowers and riding mowers but usually when I get them, they are so badly abused and dirty, that I just get straight into cleaning the carb or even replace the carb and after that they usually start pretty quickly and run fairly good. Most of the time it is the carb that is very dirty but there is usually nothing wrong with the spark. 1 out of 15 mowers have something more complicated wrong with them, (I can fix but just takes more time) like valve adjustment, flywheel key, etc.
Thank you! I cleaned my sponge air filter with Dawn, and then sprayed Carb Cleaner into the big hole and got my mower started and working again. Had to spray in the hole 3 times. Thank you!
Sweet! Some people like to make this seem more complicated than it really is. With some basic foundational knowledge, it’s really not that hard. I’m glad it worked for you too! Thanks for sharing your success!! 😀
Thank you so much for this video,my 90yr old neighbour asked if I could help when his B/S mower wouldn,t start I followed your advice and his face was a picture when it started first pull.
Awesome! I love that you got him all fixed up! Excellent job and wonderful of you to help your neighbor!
Worked for me in less than 5 mins!!! Mower now starts with one pull and no prime. Thanks!!!
Nice work!
Great tip, I like the commentary from your son. He's the real pro.😊😊
Wow you did one of the best tutorials I've seen.. I really appreciate the end of your video.. the way you simplified it gave me the motivation to keep going... After almost giving up... Bingo Delaringo!
Thanks so much! I'm very glad that you found it helpful! That's the best part of making these "how to" type of videos. I like to help people save money by fixing things on their own.
This was a really helpful video. You saved me a tank of gas. Was about to drain the tank assuming i had bad (old) fuel - didn't think to try the carb cleaner on my own, though I had it on the shelf. Thay was it - started with one pull after that and a minute of waiting. Appreciate you showing all the stuff that didn't work right away, and you sticking with it. THANK YOU
That is awesome! Always enjoy hearing that this helps others
Your instructions worked. The reason why mine died was bcz it had dirt in the tank which filtered into the carb. I did exactly what you said & it worked with a new spark plug.
Also filtered out both fuel cans.
You’re the best tks! 👍
I love it! Glad it worked for you too! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome fix!!! THANK YOU!!! Saved my day and $$$. same mower, same old fuel issue that i did not winterize, but mine did not even start. Like he showed.... some starter and some carb cleaner.... after about 20-30 sprays it started to work. THANK YOU !!!
That's great to hear, Dan! I am glad that it worked for you too. I believe it's a common problem with these. Fortunately with some very basic supplies, you can fix it on your own for cheap. Thanks for sharing your success!
Gotta drop some love here man. My dad didn't really show me stuff like this. I feel accomplished! Thank you
Thank you!
Well... I watched the video 2 hrs ago.
Went to Wally world and got me a can of starting fluid, a carb cleaner and a new plug just in case. Voila.. Runs like new. I even noticed that my throttle cable was really hard to pull, ran some WD40 inside the cable and sprayed the spring on the throttle body. Again super happy. And yes I even washed it and armorAll the tires. Thank you
You went out and got it all fixed up nice! Great job! Glad it worked for you too!
Great video. This guy has patience! I'll try this out. We pull and pull and our B&S just won't start. Cleaned the carburator didn't matter. So I'll try these sprays. Thank you sir.
I hope it works for you too. I have other videos (one is linked in the description) if you want to try a more detailed carb cleaning.
Thanks for this video! My mower had stopped working so i bought another one and eventually that one stopped working as well, and decided instead of buying ANOTHER mower Lets learn how to fix it! and now they are all working great!
That's awesome! Glad to hear you got them all going again! Thanks for sharing your success! I guess you could always sell the one you don't want, or keep a spare!
I literally replaced my carburetor and it didn’t fix the problem. I came across this video and repeated the steps and it fixed it. Thanks for saving me a bunch of money!
Great to hear your success! Thanks for sharing!
Strange that the new carb didn't work and this method did. Sounds like fuel line issues and was dirty or clogged.
Thank you for the video! Had to be patient but got it going again after multiple carb cleaner tries and fresh gas.
That’s fantastic! Glad it worked for you!
Thank you for putting out this video, I had sat there for almost 3 hours and couldn't get the clog out of the carb and finally after watching your video and blowing it out I got it to run continuously. I had already ran carb cleaner through it etc but blowing it out did the trick plus some more carb cleaner
I have good luck with the blow out trick! Glad it worked for you too! Thanks for sharing!
I literally just went to the store. Bought a can of carb cleaner and a can of starter fluid. And it worked. I was ready to junk it. Thanks man
Glad it worked, John! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you. Left my mower in the garage for two years and after changing oil, air filter and spark plug and draining carburetor still no dice. Shot of carburetor cleaner and she was back. Really appreciate it.
Awesome! Glad it worked for you too! Mower shops charge $80 to $100 for that repair.
@@TractorHoarders That's wild. Appreciate what you and others are doing.
I'll be looking at my dad's Briggs and Stratton mower that won't start. Fingers crossed for carb cleaner & starter fluid trick.
Thanks for the upload!
Good luck! Let me know how it goes. I have some other videos that detail a full carb cleaning, but this usually does the trick for me.
@@TractorHoarders Turned out to be a bad spark plug.
Worked like a charm! I was in the process of taking the carburetor apart and cleaning it until I came across your video. I decided to try the carb spray first in addition to changing the spark plug & gas. It fired up after 3 pulls! Thanks for the video! 👍🏾
Sweet! Glad to hear you got it going the easy way!
I just used your advice at work today and I just wanted to say thanks man.
Cool! Thanks for the feedback! Glad it worked for you!
Great Video
This method work on my mower today on the first spray/cleaning. Thank you for the quick fix.
Excellent! Glad it worked for you too!
Very helpful ! I’d completely forgotten about starting fluid, it’s been a long time since I watched my dad use it in the 50’s.
I hope it works for you too. If it doesn’t, I have additional videos that show different methods to fix the same problem on these engines.
It was rather funny to watch you go thru all the steps that I did minus the kids , but the continues use of the starting fluid was very helpful, wish I could get back those 3 i hours I lost to fiddling around with the carburetor! Thank you
Thank you for not just telling me what your going to do for the majority of the video and actually doing it!❤
Glad it helped you too!
After hours of Messing with my mower.... seen this video and viola!!! Worked!!! Appreciate your help man!
Sweet! Glad to hear of your success! Thanks for sharing.
This pass Sat ! I did some trouble shooting on a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower. Followed all your instructions to the wire ! One thing that primer bulb should not have a hole in the center .Finished just before 10:00 pm Started about 2:00 pm Sat. She is working amazely well...Thanks dude..
Anthony Harper That’s awesome. Glad it worked for you!
Thank you so much for explaining it all at the end and demonstrating! You’re a hero!!
Nikki Gosch I hope it worked for you!
The hero need to clamp the gas line!
This was the most helpful video! I sprayed about half bottle of WD and air-washed. It worked! Thank you!
U get it at Walmart?
Thank you for the video. Mine has been starting and stalling and most lately not starting at all. The techniques all make sense and I'll try em out
Best of luck! If this doesn’t work, I have better step by step videos on the proper fix for it.
Accidentally I put diesel in my mover ! I tried everything I got dirty even hit it with the hummer !!! I was about to gave up bit after watching the video I fixed it took me 4 weeks ))) thank you very much for the info

@@ox3289 Hey buddy, this mower has been starting and running perfectly since this video was made over a year ago.
To your comment of mowers not having a timing chain... well duh. Did you realize if the coil isn’t aligned right to the flywheel, that is a form of timing? Guess not.
@@ox3289 Lol. Anger issues? Are you this attached to a $50 lawn mower? Timing chains were never mentioned but obviously spark has to happen at a certain point in the rotation of this 4-stoke engine. That is called timing. I’m not the one acting like a fool in your comment section. Lol. Thank you, come again.
Got my lawn mower started with the help of your video thank you so much
Glad it worked for you too!
Thanks for the info, great to see how you went about solving a real example too.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You Thank You. I watched the video because I borrowed my neighbors Log Splitter with a 6 HP Briggs and Stratton Engine after 2 weeks of splitting the engine wouldn't start. I had an old can of Starter Fluid tried that no good. So you said 85% of problems are usually the fuel. I went to the Auto Supply bought Carb cleaner and Starter Fluid. Sprayed it first couple of minutes nothing but than BAM it started and I let it run about 15 minutes and runs great now. Thank You and Love RUclips
gpeterkin18 That’s great, excellent work! Glad you shared your success!
About ready to get the sledge hammer and really fix the mower but tried your trick and had it going in 5 minutes THANKS A LOT !
Michael Lower u ain’t lyin bro I got anger problems I was ready to tear dat bitch up...until I went to liquor store 😭😂
I feel ya lol I'm so pisses at this mower.
Ok was working on exactly the same machine and engine. Did everything he recommended and nothing just started for 5 seconds from starter fluid. To make a long story short. Follow all his recommendations but first take handle of screwdriver and gently tap bottom of carburetor. That and a squirt of starter fluid in filter will have you up and running in seconds. 👍
Thank you. I was totally ready to give up on the one I was working on till i saw this video. Very helpful.
Ian Lawrence Glad it helped!!
saved a trip to the repair shop, thank you sir!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m glad it worked and saved you money!
Great video! I only did the air method and my lawn mower started up!
Blowing air through is the best first thing to try! I love when that's all it takes! Glad it worked for you too!
OMG......You just saved me an hours worth of carberator rebuild. Thank you for that tip.....a few sprays and it's all good now.
Heck yeah! I always try this method before doing a full rebuild. I find this works a high percentage of the time for mowers that ran one year, and then the next year it won't. Glad it helped you too!
@@TractorHoarders The lawnmower is at least 25 years old, never had a problem till this year. Problem fixed in 3 min.
I truly thank you for your video! The beginning steps are trouble shooterS and when I removeD the filter inwhich was totally dirty and then sprayed the cardorator... SUCCESS! I was quoted $80 to do the repair! COST ME LESS THAN $4/. THANK YOU!
Who doesn’t love saving money?! Good job! 👍
Just wanted to let you know the video is still helping! Thank you! I literally tried everything i thought but this worked!!!
Awesome! So glad it helped you too!
I appreciate how you do the fixing on camera.! Like on the go! Great video!
Thanks so much! I hope it helped you out!
You got a brutha looking real good for the wifey!! Thanks, man!

I was about to buy a new mower and you saved me $$$$ Thank you!!
Perfect! Thats exactly why I posted this. Glad it worked for you too!
Thank you very much ... a very useful video. Just a matter of being logical and having the confidence to do it! I am off to get some Carb Cleaner and Starter Fluid. I hope that little rain shower was enough to clean those stains of your lovely white driveway?
You’ve got this! Hope it works for you too! I have other videos that show how to fix it in the rare chance that this doesn’t. Good luck!
Thanks for the great tips! Seemed like mine was clogged pretty bad and the carb cleaner worked like butter after few trials.
I'm glad it helped you out too!!
Turned out I need that carbs cleaning spray, and it worked. Thx , 5$ fix, maybe would work on my previous mower , which I threw away
Sometimes it’s just that simple!
That looks exactly like my mower except I don’t have front wheel drive. My mower won’t start all of a sudden. The spark plug still sparks, the carb was cleaned and replaced with a new float needle and it’s o-ring. It’s still not starting. The auto choke spring is present but I noticed when the start lever is pulled and held, the choke is not opened. Is this normal?
I have a troy-bilt briggs and stratton 725 exi electric start that I've changed air filter, battery, sparkplug, gas and oil. And still can't seem to get it started it has pull start as well as electric. Any tips for me to get it running
Great video! I was laughing at your presentation as well as learning a lot from you. I’m the worst wanna be mechanic in the whole world. You reminded me of myself as well. That exact thing happened to me! One bit of advice, bring the camera closer and film the actual subject a lot closer. You’re a good looking guy but keep in mind....eyes on the lawnmower.
Haha, thanks --- this video was something I did last minute after work one day with no expectation that it would be as popular as it is. One of my worst videos, but higher in popularity. Funny how that works.
The air compressor worked perfectly. Fixed both my lawnmowers.
I love when that method works. Simple and easy! Glad it worked for you. Thanks for sharing your success!
Thanks my man, lifesaver. Fixed both of mine this morning with this method🙏🙏😎
Awesome! Very glad you had success with this method too!
Thanks Man! I didn't even need starter fluid. A couple sprays of carb cleaner in the intake did the trick. After spraying the intake it would run for about 5 seconds, after 3 times i started giving it a little carb cleaner to keep it going. Whatever was fouling the carb was cleared within a mnute and it ran fine after that.
That’s awesome! Glad it helped out! Thanks for sharing your success with this method!
Not a direction I would have gone, with the starting fluid and carb cleaner, but it worked really well.
Simple and it works! It’s my “go to” before any deeper diagnosis.
Dunno why you wouldn’t start there lmao.
That worked like a charm and saved me $80! Thanks!
Who doesn’t like saving money?!?! 😃
Thanks buddy. I had to take the gas hose off too and the air hose blowing it out fixed it.
But getting the gas hose back on...lol
Awesome! Sometimes that’s all it takes! Glad it worked out for you!
Thanks for your help, I did get my mower going by the way.
I’m glad it helped!
Hi I'm 62 female and it worked lol
My neighbor came over and checked the sparkplug which he said was flooded he sprayed it with the starter fluid it didn't start the we used the both the carb cleaner and the starter fluid started right up
Thank you
I'm glad it worked for you too!! Thanks for sharing your success!
I was at first watching thinking you'll be emptying both spray cans for nothing and needing to disassemble the carb.... well done on getting it going again..
I am surprised at the amount of times that I can get an engine running again with this method versus doing a full carburetor cleaning. I do the real deal when needed, but if I can do this and never take anything apart, I tend to try it first. Thank you!
Thank you, the compressed air worked. Started on 2nd pull after that.
That’s one of my favorite methods to try. Super easy and effective.
Worked for me. Thanks so much for the guidance!
Awesome, Tom! I'm glad to hear it worked for you too!
My mower almost the same model but a push mower died , checked the air filter removed the foam filter (I cleaned it in with dawn detergent last week) pulled the rope it started then died about 20 times, gas is new stocked up on ethanol free gas from WaWa, I pulled the spark plug and it was fouled "Loose" tried to clean it with sand paper, ran carb cleaner through it before I put it back in, still run and die Went to Walmart bought a new spark plug in the Lawn Mower section checked fit it was a adapted version but correct. Install spark plug same thing run then die tried about 10 times, no luck. Then followed your and my advice about the carb cleaner but only carb cleaner I took the mower and set it on its side and filled it with about 10 blasts of carb cleaner right in to the carburetor, GUESS WHAT It started ran and I mowed my entire 2 yards I own 2 houses next to each other big lawns!! Made my day, and a great video to help us Lawn Mower amateurs!!! Thanks from Paradise " Poinciana Florida" The Burbs!!!!!
Great. First time here. Looking forward to more.
I’ve got 10 mowers waiting to be fixed. It’ll likely be a few months before I start on those. I’m in full on snowblower repair and snow removal video mode at the moment. More of this coming! Thanks Jerome.
You saved me a couple hundred dollars today ! Thank you for the video
Excellent! That was the goal of this video and I’m glad it worked for you too!
Thanks good tip and short cut I’ll have to try this.
Went To Check Fuel Line, Hose had delaminated and clogged. Replaced and good to go. Thanks.
Awesome, great job!
Hey man, I just did what you suggested and fixed my mower. Thanks. I really thought it was done.
M M Sweet success! Glad it helped you out!
Thanks man, that was awesome. Zelda fan as well
I am currently working on a 675 series z-start / ready start that just WONT! I cleaned gray sludge from fuel bowl and cleared blockage of center passage of bowl bolt. I pulled spark plug from working mower and it still won’t start. Will tackle it again in the morning.
A suggestion I would add when disconnecting the fuel line is to insert a 1/4” hex nut driver bit (with round shank) into line. Prevents fuel spillage and leaves both hands free. I also use a spring clamp on start/run handle when spraying into carb. My arms are short!
Excellent advice! Hope you were able to get it going!
Hans Makes It Work - I finally got it going. When the safety handle was pulled, the break would release but the coil ground circuit wasn’t breaking the connection. I adjusted the bracket that the wire attaches to and shortened cable length by unscrewing end one turn each. Started up first pull!
Dr Powell excellent! Good work!
My Briggs and Stratton is only 1 year old and won't start this summer. I tried with the old fuel at first then tipped the mower upside down to drain the old fuel and replaced it with new fuel. I haven't checked the plug yet but do you have any tips I could try instead of spending 100s on repairs?
It is most likely that your carburetor has a clogged passage. I have other small engine repair videos on my channel that you can check out, and within a week or so, I plan to upload a newer video on carburetor cleaning. 85% of the time, using a combination of starting fluid and carburetor cleaning works for me, but sometimes you have to disassemble the carburetor and clean the passages a little more thoroughly.

Get you a mower with a Honda motor
Does that one have a tube going from the fuel tank to the air filter? Mine does, same series. But this little tube spits gas. Also looks like something broke off of the end of it. Not sure though. Cant find anything on it and sometimes the same models don’t have this thing.
You may be able to confirm by looking at a picture of a replacement carburetor. Worst case, you could replace it too if you suspect something has broken off. Check this out: amzn.to/2QAuvks
Absolutely amazing and I LOVE the ending explanations
Thank you. Hope it helped you out!
yeah I saw that, I have the same problem with my lawnmower, thank you sir, thumbs up
Thank you Brother.. blessings
Which cleaner is it?
I tried your method and it worked. Thank u for making this video.
That's great! I'm glad it worked for you too!
You can use brake cleaner in place of carb cleaner and starting fluid if you want to. You can also spray cleaner into the carb through the fuel line to try to dissolve the goo in the fuel bowl. / If the mower will start when you spray into the carb, you know it's a fuel delivery issue and there's no reason to take out the plug. / A flooded mower will start with a few pulls unless you've drowned it. Most mowers today run really lean so they burn off excess fuel pretty quickly.
Great tips!! Agreed
Looks like the same 5½ HP on my poulon pro. Thought the crank key broke. Opened the block, nothing wrong. (Probably should've checked the head but, it has compression so I didn't) removed the carb and tried blowing it out. I can get it to pop with some starting fluid. But won't run. Pulled the plug. Has good purple spark across the gap. Might be some gum in the valves so I will try this method. Thanks for posting.
Thank a millions for your lessons. Would you please teacher me to connect governor spring(s) of Yard Machine 125cc push over. I'd really appreciate!!!!
