So I have a regular push lawnmower.

Brand? Model?

The only way i can get the lawn mower
to start is to directly syphon gas out with a hose and put a few drops in
the carburator.

Has it been sitting all winter with gas in it? Has the gas been sitting in
a can all winter, waiting to be used (even a portion of it)?

Then the mower will start for a few seconds until it drinks
up the few drops of gas and it will dye. So I bought a new one because I
couldnt fix it.

What did you try, to fix it?

Now my push edger is doing the same thing. It will only
start when i directly put gas into the carburator and will run for a second
or two until the gas it gone.

Again, is the gas old?

How long since you've changed the spark plug, or cleaned/regapped it? How
long since you've cleaned/replaced/reoiled the air filter? Gas filter?

I dont want to have to buy another edger just
because of the SAME EXACT PROBLEM. HOW do i fix this?

The information you've given is pretty vague. I'm not so sure I know what
you mean by a "regular lawnmower". There are literally hundreds of push
mowers, and dozens of engine manufacturers for them. Some have priming
bulbs for cold starting, some have manual chokes, and some have both.

Most edgers that I've had are two stroke. Is yours, not?

The lawn mower service people charge to much.,.

More than a new one? I doubt it. There's nothing wrong with taking it to a
shop, once a year, to get it ready to go for the season. Especially if you
don't really know what you're doing, as far as maintainence goes.

Thanks Please post towards group.

Good. That's kinda the way the USENET works.

not my valid email.

Most aren't, save for fools.
