Four year old lawn mower worked fine all summer then just wouldn't start. Only way I can get it started is by spraying fluid in the carb but it dies within seconds.
I have never worked on law mowers before so I learned a lot this week troubleshooting.
Below are the steps I took:
1) Removed spark plug, cleaned with wire brush, looks fine.
2) Removed, cleaned gas tank and line. Was expecting a fuel filter but there isn't one in the line. Confirmed lines were clear.
3) Dropped carb bowl and noticed there was a little gas in the bowl and a few water drops but no dirt.
4) Still wouldn't start so I dropped the bowl again and there was little gas in there (no water drops) so I am assuming the gas flow to the carb is fine.
5) Removed and disassembled carb. Removed float, cleaned threaded nozzle and the pin inside with all little holes. Also removed idle screw and clean all other holes. (Watched more than five youtubes on how to do this)
6) Reassembled and installed carb but unfortunately still doesn't start. Yes, fuel valve is open
Any thoughts on what I can try next?
Thanks
