First off,thanks for allowing me in this forum.
I own a TroyBuilt push mower with belt driven rear wheels.Engine has OHV.
While using mower 2 weeks ago unit first was hard to start. Usually starts fist pull.Sounded like there was a compression leak.checked plug and was tight. Pulled a few more times and it started. Started mowing,felt ok. Emptied bag and restarted.Took 3 pulls but started.As im mowing the unit gave me a massive backfire and shut down. No,I didnt hit anything. It just backfired and stalled. Will not restart. I have small spark,plug looks good,not wet with fuel or oil. Electrode black like running a little rich..Removed pull cord,checked for crap between coil and wheel and did the bussiness card gap adj. Still wont start. Havent tried Ether in carb to start,nor have I looked at keyway as of yet.
Any experiences with these units doing this? model#12ABD3BZ71.1
