Got half the lawn mowed, took a break, now mower will start, but
sputters and dies.

Took off the air filter and, so long as I keep tapping my hand over the
hole, the engine will run just fine. When I remove my hand altogether,
it'll run for a few seconds or so, then dies.

Is there like not a proper air/fuel mix going on here, or what? I
cleaned out whatever lines I could.

I hope I don't have to do a whole carbureator overhaul. Anyone know of
any quick fixes?

I've decided I'm not buying those Murray $100/$125 mowers anymore;
they're not worth the hassle.

aaaaawwwweee jean,now u should leave the mowin of your lawn to a
guy......lmfao and besides why ruin those prettty little nails??lol

I think you are still in need of that yard boy

if you have some rubbing achole put about an 1/8 of the tank with it and
the rest with freash gas that will help clean the varnish out of the
carb and cyclenders

If I left it to a man to do, my grass would be about a thousand feet
high.

I enjoy mowing and doing landscaping and all of that. It's what helps
keep me in shape. It would be nice to have a man around to do the
heavier work, though...not only that, he could service my lawnmower, and
then service me!

What "pretty little nails?" Sheesh! That's too high-maintenance for me.
The only thing I have to do is make sure to wear gloves cuz A) I'm
allergic to metal and the lawnmower handle makes my hands itch like
crazy and 2) I hate the feeling of dirt under my fingernails. I don't
care if my hands get dirty as hell, but not under my nails! Eeee!

Thanks, sxpak! I appreciate your help. Hope nothing blows up.

LOL

you only mowed half of your lawn?
,wonders what it looks like?

Ummm...it looks like half is mowed and the other half isn't?

I have a nice Murray mower that cost about 125 or so. You can have it if
you want, but I think it probably needs a carburetor overhaul.

Carb. overhaul ain't that expensive on them lil two bit lawnmowers....

Is your airfilter clean? How about your spark plug?

ok,but what would you compare it tooo?

kmfao jean

Umm..Sassy..are you ok?

Phil, ummm...considering I have not one but two lawnmowers with the same
problem ...ummm..no thanks?

Oh Sappy One, yes, all the other stuff is cleaned out. Sparkplug is
fine.

Dev, what would I compare what to?

Oh and I won't pay to have something done I can do for myself, but I
want to finish the yard NOW..not later. Such a hassle; I've got other
things I need to be doing, too.

lol jean.....i think ive lost my mind...lmao-----havin shoppin
withdrawls here.....lol..ill shop for a new lawn mower for you!!!

Hey, make sure the choke isnt on.

Ahh, glad you brought that up, Klug. Because these mowers the choke is
preset, apparently, (that lever thing? you can't move it) any
suggestions?

Throw the piece of shyzon out and get a good mower.


Seriously ...
