How can I fix my lawn mower?
By admin | January 4, 2008
Mary W asked:
My lawn mower is a 3.5hp Tecumseh. I have been doing some heavy mowing (tall grass, weeds), and now, the mower will start, and then die after a few seconds of running. I have cleaned out underneath, and it has both oil and gasoline. Do I need a new mower? This is the last season I will need this mower because I am moving to a house with no lawn.

If it still starts, and shuts back off….. its a carb problem 99 percent of the time…..
The float doesn’t sound stuck, the main jet (up that hole the float bowl nut goes up) is clogged…. but first make sure gas is getting to the carb at a good rate (take the fuel line off at the carb and let it go real quick)
