I have mowed twice since. The clean side of the filter remains clean. And it starts first or second pull. Before both times I soaked up the gas that pooled like in the pic. But when I was done I looked and there was no gas pooled. But out of curiosity, the next day I would pull off the filter...

Well, I got the needle replacement and put it in. Reassembled the carb after a cleaning and the mower started on the third pull, which was an improvement from the dozen + attempts previously. But took out the filter afterwards to look and I have gas pooled like as shown in the first couple of...

Well the closest mower store to me has one of those needles. And they can order the little seat for it. The guy said it’s most likely the needle causing the issue. It’s $12 CAD for the needle. Now I’m wondering if I should try polishing the seat like I’ve seen in multiple videos and reassemble...

Thanks for the reply. Did some digging on youtube based on what you said and found a guy who has two videos on this for the same carb. And one of them involves the same mower I have. Going to give it a shot.

Hi all! Hoping you guys can point me in the right direction on how to fix this issue. I've had this mower since 2015 and lately it's the first time I'm having problems with it. I'm not familiar with mower parts and all that but I'll try my best to explain the issue. The last three times it...
