Question
Hello  JOHN , Hope you  can help. My MTD Mower will only start after I prime it,even if it is hot . I never had this happen before . I changed the oil and adjusted the spring on the carb.changed the plug as well. It starts fine ,I just have to prime it every time. What do you think? Thank You Very Much .Larry

If you are not comfortable taking the carb off, then you could remove the bowl and bowl nut and clean the bowl, really clean and poke the bowl nut clean, spray the internal parts of the carb you can get to, with attention to holes and passages, reassemble and see if it does any good?
