QUESTION: CLEAN THE DAMN CARBB!!!!!!!!!! i am not and idiot i did that loser i figued it out expert my ass it ws the coil so try to learn a little more EXPERET thanks for nothing  

Answer
It wasn't the coil DEREK.  Nice spelling on that reply by the way. It was kind of hard for this Experet to figue out.  Your mower couldn't have run for 5 seconds, or as long as you primed it if you had a bad coil.  Bad coil means NO SPARK !  Unless you have a deisel engine on your mower you have to have SPARK.  The hunk of crap you missed when you cleaned the carb finally made it's way through the jet.

I might not be an expert to you,  and I know!! I'm an ASS.  But you are the one who just wasted his beer money on a coil he didn't need.
