So my Lawnboy wouldn't start. I figured out the problem and it seems that my air intake valve is stuck in the wide open position. If I close it by hand, it will start and stay running no problem. Then I open it up just alittle bit and runs very good and strong. But when I let go, it wants to go into the wide open position again and the mower turns off. So what I did was put a bolt in to hold it in the half open position. Runs great now. But what I want to know is it this is ok to do? Or should I try to clean it? What is the best way to try to clean this "stuck" valve without having to take the whole darn motor apart. Could I spray carb cleaner into the air intake valve itself? Will this loosen up the valve?
Any suggestions would be appreciated?
