My old B&S-powered mower never starts. Not, that is, unless I spray a
couple of bursts of "Sure Start" into the carb. Then it starts first
time, and always starts after that, once it's hot. (Another regular
mentioned that spraying gas from a blow torch (i.e. not lit, obviously!)
into the carb works just as well. It's a bit of a fiddle taking the
air filter off then screwing it back on before pulling the cord -- but I
know it works, so that's what I do.
I had a B & S like this,. I got the valves reground and it was if
anything worse.
Then I noticed the choke wasn't coming on -
I was about to suggest this too. A few minutes checking this would be
easier than fannying around with sprays etc.
