Help !!
 

My lawn is getting away . I have 2 lawnmowers, a Techumseh, and a Lawn Boy.
Each cost me about 50 bucks used, each cut the grass once, then each died
and I cant seem to get either working again. Grrrr. It's not like I am
mechanically dissinclined or anything. I have had both carbs all apart,
bought new parts for both. still, neither will start . The rope finally
broke on one from pulling so much. The carbs are just crippled. I wish I
could afford a decent lawnmower. On the bright side, a deer and her fawn
like to come over and eat.

Get rid of those pieces of shit and get a decent lawn mower.

No! I have a deer highway running in both directions behind
my barn. Thanks anyway "Jesus H" but I
can only eat so much deer before I get tired of it.

Do you know anyone who likes to shoot bambi's for supper?

I can supply them here in Ohio, so long as they have a
valid hunting license and bambi is in season.

We make bambi jerky too.

I love to eat Venicen. I hunt every year.
But, I cant shoot a doe or her fawn, in my yard , in town.

I will go up the hill though and invite her boyfriend over for dinner. he
he.

What makes you think it is the carb? did you check anything else first?
When diagnosing engine troubles start with the obvious, make a checklist and
go by it instead of tearing everything apart for no particular reason.
ie: (just a for instance)
1: got oil? (clean good oil)
2: got gas/ (good clean recent gas)
3: is there a spark?
4: is it a good blue spark capable of jumping a 1/4 inch or so?
5: Hows the spark plug
right one? clean?(outside too) gap set correctly? not worn?
6: Whats the air filter look like?
7: whats the muffler look like, good shape? not plugged up?
8: does the choke work?
9: is it flooded?
I could go on but you get the drift.
