Hi,
I am trying to "recommission" a small push mower with a B&S 35 classic engine.
This was laid up without oil or petrol.
I have petrol and oil in now, have left it 48 hours to soak through.
Now the cord pulls very easily and smoothly (I am left handed and it has to be pulled with right hand), little puffs of smoke come out of exhaust after a couple of pulls, and it nearly catchs, but it doesn't start, and the closer it gets to starting the harsher the recoil.
I do not really know what I am doing but am eager to learn, I have a feeling it is a very tiny problem and anyone who did know what they were doing would start it in seconds. :smile:
