Hello Lawn World
A few months ago my 80's era (unsure of the precise year) lawn Boy model S19ZPN cut out on me mid-mow. Today I finally got around to diagnosing and eventually starting the mower after concluding that I hadn't added 2 cycle oil to my fuel. Luckily for me, that didn't destroy my engine and it started right up. In addition to the repair, I added epoxy clay to the wire the controls the choke valve in the carburetor (excuse my uncertain language). It ran and I let it warm up and then I left it for 15 minutes while I ran to the store to grab carburetor cleaner to mix with the gas since the mower had sat for a while. However, when I got back and added the mixture it would not start. I double checked everything including my epoxy job and it will not start back up.
Now I am asking for the help of the internet. I can conclude (correct me if I'm wrong) that there is spark otherwise it wouldn't have started in the first place and the engine is (or did) get gas. What am I missing? If I were to guess, something is wrong with the safety toggle. Thanks in advance!
