Mounted on 2013 Snapper Rotary Brush Cutter. New last summer & ran about three tanks of gasoline (with stabilizer) through it. End of season closed fuel valve and ran 'til empty. Then disconnected fuel line and emptied tank completely. Yesterday filled halfway with new gasoline with stabilzer. Started and ran fine for about 20 minutes and then quit. Plenty of fuel in tank. Will not start. Fires one or two times and quits.

Any suggestions?


try removing the sparkplug and squirt some gasoline into the hole, reinstall plug connect wire.

often this works here. the engine must draw a bit of vacuumn on the gas line and things run fine.

my mower was new last year, so its well less than a year old, but this is how i got mine running for the first time this year
