I have a Scott SP walk-behind mower with a 6.5 HP Tecumseh motor. The
last time I used it (about 2 months ago) it seemed to run fine. Now it
apparently makes no attempt to start (after priming it and after many
pulls). In addition to this problem, while trying to start it the
engine sometimes jerks the starting rope out of my hand (backfires?).
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this and what to do about it?
Thanks for any help.
