Trouble shooting / How to get an old lawn mower to start. #shorts
List of items to check:
Air filter (dirt in engine or no air if clogged): amzn.to/3IE5dHa
Oil (ensure oil is to the fill level with correct oil) 5W30 used: amzn.to/3JYbtL6
Gas (remove old gas and use fresh high octane gas)
Spark Plug (no spark = no ignition): TBD
Carburetor (old gas can cause issues with starting and running mixes air and fuel):TBD
Starter Fluid (get around carburetor issues to get started): amzn.to/3JLkojh Valvoline was used, but just make sure it is ETHER in any starter fluid will work
Funnel (Fuel and Oil changes): amzn.to/3s1PAnW
Siphon (get the old gas out): amzn.to/3iYkUPb similar hand pump siphon
Air filter cover (will not stop engine from starting): amzn.to/3IGUrjj
Combustion requires Fuel, Air, and Ignition Source (Spark) so keep that in mind while trouble shooting a combustion engine issue.
Caution: Gas and Ether are HIGHLY Flammable and can easily ignite!!!!

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.

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!

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.

I obviously was doing it wrong. I just sprayed starting fluid onto the carb or onto the side of the intake and then will try to start it instead of starting it while spring that’s a new one that I have to try.

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

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

You mean the red thingy, that's a hand pump/siphon with 2 hoses, 1 on each end; 1 into the gas tank the other 1 into the catch reservoir.

The siphon hose? It has a bulb you squeeze and a one way valve. As you release the bulb, the valve classes and gas is pulled up the house and the force pushes the valve open on order to drain the tank.
