lawn mower won’t start??

Posted by admin
DuffMan409 asked:

i had my lawn mower in storage for about 5 months. it’s an old mower that i got second hand, but it didn’t give me a single problem last year. it always started right up with 1 or 2 pulls. i had it stored with gas in it, and someone told me i would see little bubbles in the tank if there was water in it, which i don’t see. the oil is good, tried replacing the spark plug, air filter is good. it doesn’t sound like it’s even trying to start, but seems to sound slightly better when i take the spark plug out. is my mower just dead?

      Find yourself a 1/2″ socket, or wrench.
      On the bottom of the carburator bowl is the bowl nut/jet.

      Remove the nut, remove the bowl, and clean it out well.
      Sometimes the bowl tends to stick to the big Oring on top of it.

      There’s probably some old gas in the bottom of it, and/or water.
