Hi all, first post for me.
I tried doing a search and nothing came up. Also checked the FAQ with no luck. So I apologize if this is posted somewhere and I missed it.
I have a newer Craftsman walk behind (Self-Propelled and Key start) mower that just doesn't want to start up. Its been a while since we used it. But it started up just fine this afternoon (I did note the first start up had some white smoke for a few seconds then cleared up), ran for about 5 min, quit.. started it back up, ran for another few min then quit for the last time.
Darn thing just wont start now.
From what little research I've gathered from other websites is that the Carburetor might be clogged. The suggestion was to take it in for service. I'm wondering if there anything that can be done without taking it in? Money is a bit tight and we really don't have it to spend on service at the moment.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. :thumbsup:
Thanks!
