lawnmower problem

Yup. With my Mountfield petrol mower, every spring I would need to empty out any remaining fuel and replace with fresh, then also take the spark plug out and bake it in the oven for a while. Did our "lawn" last week. First time the mower had been used since Oct or Nov last year. Checked the oil looked at the plug (but didn't do anything) filled it with petrol from the can last used Oct/Nov. Primed it pulled, nothing, repeat twice and off it went I suspect I didn't prime it enough to refill the chambers in the carb. Bog standard B&S engine, probably what you have on the "Mountfield". It might be a bet more interesting starting the two stroke strimmer, that only got two or three outgings last year and hasn't be used for a lot longer than the mower. -- Cheers Dave. |
