@TractorHoarders5 ай бұрын
Nice job!!! My recommendation would be to use a non-ethanol gas. I know you can’t get that everywhere, so if you can’t, just make sure to run the mower a few minutes every month in the off season, OR run it completely out of gas before storing it over the winter. STABIL is an additive that some people use, but I personally don’t.

If you disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor, does fuel run in a steady flow from the tank out of the hose? In the carburetor, the float could also be sticking causing the fuel to not flow. Or some other fuel obstruction. You know you have spark or else starter fluid wouldn’t work, so it’s definitely a fuel delivery issue.

Hi! If it’s leaking gas, you’re right, it could be the float valve or the rubber o-ring at the bottom of the bowl. The linkage cable should go in whatever hole it came out of. Sometimes you can tell because the hole has some slight wear to it. You’re on the right track… good luck!

To me that seems like a fuel problem. I would check and make sure there is a constant and steady fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor. If there is a fuel filter, you may change that. There could also still be a carburetor issue. I have some other videos in my Small Engine Repair playlist that go into further detail on that process.
