Hey all,
Thanks in advance! Sorry for the oddness here. And my stupidity - I can honestly say that small engine repair is a weak suit! Feel free to laugh!
Shut off my mower to empty the grass from the bagger and it would not restart. The engine turns, but it sound like no spark/no fuel.
Plenty of gas.
1) replace the spark plug, but nothing changes.
So I question the magneto which is the 2nd one I have had.
2) I replace the magneto- this replacement was for a stock unit (795315) but not the same as the second magneto (799650) that was in place. Try to start and change.
Now I am feeling it is fuel related.
3) replace the solenoid on the carb. When I pull the old one, gas just pour out through the hole! Try to star and no change.
I remove the air filter and spay in starter fluid. Nothing...not even a little.
Pull the the lead off the spark plug, put near block, and there is spark when I try and start.
What am I missing?
