I got a lawn mower from someone who tried to fix it.
I cleaned the foam air filter, they had put 10w30 in it, I changed it to the recomended 30 weight. I drained the gas, it looked yellow, they might have added kerosene? I looked in the carb, it is a plastic bowl, with a float and a screen, no screws or anything like it. I started it, and ran it around my yard twice and it died. I get shocked by the spark plug, but there is no combustion. I have compression behind the plug. When I pull the cord a lot, there is the gas smell, but the muffler or motor wont get hot. I think I need to clean the cilinder head. Is there anything I should use. Carb cleaner? Im going to get a new spark plug today, does anyone have any ideas or help. Its a briggs and straton 3.75 easy start sprinter.
Thanks for looking. Please help
