Question -Thank you Michael for your answer. The fly wheel turns does not engage. I think I see the problem. THE AIR FILTER FILLS UP WITH GAS THEN OVERFLOWS.I AM TOTALLY PUZZLED. IS IT A CARB PROBLEM? I GUESS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAYED FOR. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. STAN
I bought this mower for $100. I cut the lawn three times, mower ran rough but still did the job. I had to use jumper cable to start battery. I finally bought a new battery and the engine just will not turn over. It just winds and winds
Answer -
Hi Stanley,
If the starter runs but will not turn the engine over, I would suspect a dry or dirty bendix gear on the starter. Check to see if it spins but doesn't engage the flywheel on the engine.
Let me know what you find.
Michael
AnswerHi Stanley,
Ahh, I see. It IS turning over, just not starting.
Check to see if you have suction at the carb's intake. If not I would suspect a bad intake valve. Do a compression test to confirm. You could have a leaking carb float valve also.
Let me know what you find.
Michael
