Last time I mowed the lawn, the mower quit at the end of the job. It was not out of gas but had worked on the gas in the tank.
Today, would not start. Which is to say, you prime it, it roars to life and stops almost instantly
1. added fresh gas (ethanol free)
2. added gas line additive
3. pulled air filter - no difference (not clogged)
4. checked plug - wet but OK, cleaned and reinstalled.
5. Pulled top of carb - squirted in engine start - roared to life but died immediately.
6. pulled carb and cleaned.
7. float works (didn't check to see if fuel in float though I shook it and didn't hear anything slosh.
8. Priming bulb doesn't seem to suck but I don't know whether this would continue to be an issue.
thoughts?
