I've got a Snapper push mower 7800948-00 that I bought new last year. Works good except for one problem. Starts up fine when cold but every time I take a break, it takes 10 or 15 pulls to get it started. It has plenty of gas, the filter is good, etc. I called my local dealer, but he didn't know.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

How are you trying to start it warm? Are you choking it when warm, could be flooding the engine.

Did you service the mower? Plenty of fresh gas. What is filter is good. Is it clean and possibly over oiled if it has a prefilter. Hows the plug and gap. Getting flooded. Many reasons for hard start cold and warm.
