Ok I replaced the spark plug, cleaned out the carburator, put new gas in and oil in, and the lawn mower will only start for a second when I spray starter fluid in the cylinder where the spark plug goes and prime it then it sputters out.
I wanted to know what could be the problem I'm going to buy new gaskets and will take the carb out again and let it sit in cleaning fluid for a night. Also when I first emptied the gas I tilted the lawn mower on its side which I now know was the wrong thing to do so what could be the problem? I also forgot to mention I cleaned the paper filter but haven't gone and gotten a new one.
There is a burning gas smell when the lawn mower starts for a second any help would be greatly appreciated willing to do what ever it takes just not trying to take it to a shop.
