I have a 1982 Lawn Boy 7229 F100 series that I can’t get started. It does not appear to be carb/fuel related or electrical. What I have done so far; cleaned carb, checked for spark, checked flywheel key, cleaned magnets on flywheel and ignition, cleaned and checked exhaust ports, tried spraying starter fluid into carb throat and also directly into spark plug hole. i don’t have a compression checker however it appears to have some compression. I have an identical machine to compare it to which runs great and they feel about the same compression wise. This machine ran great up until now. It doesn’t even start to ignite or sputter when trying to start it. The only other observation I made was when cleaning the exhaust ports and watching the piston move up and down, a little fuel seems to squish out into the exhaust ports, not sure if this abnormal or not.
Is there anything I may have mised that I need to check? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
