Harleyman Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 it has a spark and the rev sound when u pull pull start but will not fire up. any ideas Dirty carburetor perhaps. Take it out clean it, make sure the fuel line isn't bunged up then replace the air filter at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If you get to the grass roots of the problem would you let me know. I've got the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneemee Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Does it have a dead mans handle?, you are holding it in whilst attempting a start aren't you. Silly question i know but i've seen supposedly professional gardeners stumped by this on several occasions over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHoosier Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Dirty carburetor perhaps. Take it out clean it, make sure the fuel line isn't bunged up then replace the air filter at the same time This was the problem with my mower last spring; it had the same symptoms as yours. I cleaned the carburetor and it started on the second or third pull. I just followed instructions I found on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
