Hey guys,

I have a Snapper 21401P - Snapper 21" Walk-Behind Mower, 4 HP, Steel Deck, Series 1 with the B&G motor. last weekend I sharpened the blade ( and yes I turned it on the side I was supposed to) and now I pull it and it runs for about 30 to 5 secs and dies. I'm not mechanically inclined but I mange. It's got fresh gas (I've mowed the lawn 3 times in the last 4 weeks all with the new gas). This things got me stumped!


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ed

Hi Ed. Welcome to the forum! :welcome:

I'm going to move your thread over to our Snapper section to see if we can get you some advice.

Take the carb off and clean it out.
Drain the fuel from the tank and check it for dirt & water.
When tipping a mower the crud that normally sits in a sump below the fuel outlet , ends up in the fuel line.
