Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Oil instead of gas, float bowl, spark plug


Question
I put oil instead of gas in my Craftsman 6.5 hp, 22 in. Now it doesn't want to start. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Answer
Drain the oil from the tank.  You will also have to remove the carburetor float bowl nut, located on the bottom of the carb, and drain the carburetor.

Replace the float bowl nut, refill with gas, remove spark plug and pull the string several times to try and get the gas circulating in the carb.

Let me know if you get it started.
