My parents kept the gas in it since last year. It ran ok about 3 weeks

just wouldn't start.


You HAVE put new gas in it, right?

: )

Just checking.



Ummmm.....welllll.......
something I meant to do last week but neglected to.
I guess I should try that as well.


Well, my mower ran great for about half the yard, then refused to run, like
yours.

I dumped the fuel into a glass jar and there's about 1/2" of water sitting
at the bottom of the jar, with about five inches of fuel floating on top.

Mower runs great now that I've got GOOD gas in it.
