Lawn mower stopped working?
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007mike k asked:
My lawnmower just shut off on me yesterday after mowing the grass for about 15 mins, i couldnt get it to fire back up, i changed the spark plug, washed the air filter changed the gasoline and still nothing, i added oil to it also but the oil was 10w30 i was told it wouldnt matter but i think i added more than i supposed to add(18 oz.) and oil was everywhere, so today i took the mower apart piece by piece and whiped it down after drainging all the gas and oil, I went to sears and bought a tune up kit, which gave my 18 oz. of synthentic oil, a new air filter, new spark plug, and fuel stablizer. I put it back together and filled the gas and oil up and pulled the cord a couple times and it sounds like it wants to start but it doesnt and then if i primer it and try it throws a little bit of white smoke and backfires it sounds like… this lawn mower is a craftmans 2004 7.0 self prepelled lawn mower and the local places want 60$ to tell me whats wrong and its 2 week wait any advice?? thank u
