Hi All,
I have a craftsman mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine. This is pretty old mower. This year I changed the spark plug and since then it needs a starter fluid to start. Today it wouldn't start, so i removed the spark plug, cleaned it and sprayed the starter fluild into the cylinder and it started. Only then I realized that I didn't connect the spark plug wire. It was running with the wire right next to the spark plug. Once i connect the spark plug, it never starts.
it starts if I remove the spark plug connection and it won;t start if I connect. I do understand about IC engines to some extend. Any help is much appreciated. Pictures attached.
Thanks in advance,
