Need help with lawn mower
If you take the air filter off, will it continue running? The key
would interrupt ignition, not gas, and it sounds like you have spark, so I'd rule out a key problem.. |

The engine does not run with the air cleaner removed. I really believe it's a dirty carb. especially considering the fact that oil got into the air cleaner when I tipped the mower to change the oil. The maintenance manual says to keep the air cleaner on top when tipping the mower to change to oil. I didn't do that. I'll know better whan I take the carb. off and clean it. Interestingly, my next door neighbor has a mower showing the identical symptoms. He's waiting for me to figure out what my problem is before he tackles his mower. I just bought a carb. rebuild kit in case I need to rebuild the carb. It was only $12 from B&S.com. I'm betting I won't because the mower isn't that old. Again, thanks for everyone's responses. I'll post again when I figure out what the problem is. |
