white smoke for like a second then none.

Hey yall, got it running! Something stuck in the carb. Hey yall, got it running! Something stuck in the carb. It smokes a crap ton when it does start, but it runs nicely afterwards! Does anyone know why its smoking so much?

Alright, I just washed out the tank, seems like it is flowing a bit better. Should I let dry, re-assemble, and try start the mower? Or should i really clean the carb. (stick it in the dishwasher hah)

It died almost immediately, but this happened because I didn't have the fuel tank attached.

I pulled the gas out and it looks like there's quite a bit of dirt in it.

I did the video that you sent me to try clean it. I don't have anything to clean it well. I assume I cant use water to clean it, but I don't have anything else that has the power.

I got it to start and run for a little bit, I already looked at the carburetor and it looked clean ( no blocks in the jets) the spark plug seems fine if its firing like that. What should i do next?

The spark plug was pretty clean so it must just be a bad spark plug. I'm going to re-assemble it now and do the spray test.

I just checked the spark plug. It is not a resistor plug, its an E3.20. It had a resistance of over 100k ohms which is not right hah. Ill blow some air through the gas tank to see if that's the issue. I don't have the equipment to test the spark plug so I pulled it out and checked to see if it...

Alright Ill give it a shot. Thank you

Well now everyone knows that I know next to nothing about these things. What other things should I try to figure out what is wrong with my mower?

Hey y'all, recently picked up a new lawn mower from a friend that did not start. It is a Lawn Machines 300E Briggs and Stratton mower. I thought it would be an easy fix, but I am stumped. I checked the spark plug and it seems fine. Not sure what to try next. I thought it might be the choke...
