Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumseh Prism 4.5 HP lawnmower engine, jets air, lawnmower engine


Question
Engine will not start after sitting idle over the winter. Seems to take quite a lot of priming in the past to start at first.  Gas is getting to the plug.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hello Alex, preventative maintenance is the key too many engines.Buy a new spark plug should at least change your plug every 100 hours. Make adjustments to your jets air and fuel is what makes engines run.For your spark plug make sure you have the proper gap.
