You do a great job describing the steps to go through in diagnosing problems.

Prime for a Good Time , I love it . The quickest diagnostic method that we have . I have a 3.5 classic for my mower and every spring I suck out the old fuel and refill with fresh fuel ready for the summer . I leave fuel in the tank over the winter to prevent rust in the tank .I LOVE my mower .

Thanks for that walkthrough. I left my lawnmower in the shed with old gas and now it won't start, I'll try these steps before I take it somewhere.

The company I work for has a few Briggs and Stratton Quattro mowers, we got them second hand, serviced them new oil, blade and carbs, they run great, one pull starts every time and we run premium gas thru them, perfect mowers for a days mowing thruout my city 🙂

Great video that just proves that spraying carb cleaner into the engine through the air filter area does not always allow the engine to fire even thought the compression and spark are ok. Just makes you wonder how many mowers have been thrown out or taken to the dump or scrap yard that were perfectly fine mowers that just needed fresh fuel and a possible carb clean. Keep up the good work you are the prime small engine repair channel on KZfaq.

Additionally, excellent tip on checking the air intake for cracks or it being loose which creates that air leakage thus loss of suction.

I was guessing flywheel key, or valves. Yet another informative video bravo.

I just picked up a free push mower and it’s doing the same thing I should put some of that spray to

Thanks for a very good explanation. Our Lawnmower is hard to start even with Small Engine Starter fluid. Once it starts, then runs well and can restart easily. I think it needs a Carbulater clean-up. Thanks again.
