Mower won't start
 

I've been invited round to the in-laws for tea tonight, on the basis that I have a look at their petrol mower which doesn't want to start. I'm making an educated guess that having been sat all winter, a bit of fresh fuel might help; anyone any other suggestions as to what the problem is likely to be?

Is it plugged in?

I've not seen it yet, I'll check that one first. :rolleyes:

My easystart mower wouldnt start either after sitting all winter. Fresh fuel, plug out and a few pulls, clean plug and back in and off it went.

Check the kill switch is off, sidestand isn't down, charge the battery if need be.

You will get it started and they will say, while your there you might aswell finish the job :lol:

Probably has a Briggs engine - they're indestructible. Make sure you've primed the engine - mine has a rubber push button thingy, you press it three times. No more or you'll flood the engine. Oh yeah, you need to hold the clutch in, it's a safety device. Finally make sure the air filter is clear of dried out grass.
