Yea your not supposed to spray that much and even after your supposed to wipe down that area.

@mondude9754 Жыл бұрын

Just so you know you were spraying the starting fluid into the crankcase vent. The bottom hole is the intake. Thats why it took long ti start cause only a little dripped into the intake after you already was spraying it for a while.

which part is the intake??

You used enough starting fluid to start my 6.4L V8.

There you go until you burn threw the starting fluid and it stalls. Take the carburetor apart and clean it. 99% of the time the carb is the problem. Old gas sitting without use gums all the small passages up causing a no start. Good luck👍🏻

I agree, I found this in the trash. Once I ran new high octane gas through the carb and engine it started every time. If it did not start up easy the next time I would have cleaned the carburetor.

Had to get my lawn mower started for the first time this year...saw a can of gas in the garage and filled it up since it was empty, normally if its empty it takes 1 or 2 pulls max to start the mower...20 pulls later and nothing...then i realized the gas in that can is 1 year old...smh...next day I realized i had some marvel mystery oil leftover from my cars and figured if its good for fuel and crankcase then its gotta be good for old gas and i put a quarter of the bottle in the gas, closed the cap and shook the mower real good to get it to mix...1 pull and she started and runs like a top!

Best if you remove the carb and clean it out real good. It’s bound to have deposits that’ll gunk up the works if it’s been sitting long…

The other comment is pretty stupid but the truth is that mower can't be less than 5 years old, pretty dang new.

Its Not a repair. Probably the mower stalled after the spray Was used up and you have to clean the carb anyway.

@MountainManMo 18 күн бұрын

I have been using it for 2 years without any additional work. It probably had bad / old gas and I was lucky that the carb was not completely gummed up yet.

Trying to blow yourself up, you be ignorant for spraying that much starter fluid just a small squirt and move back a little and start it. If you keep doing it your way it may back fire and poof there all the hair goes maybe worse

You are definitely right it was a bit much.
