Lawn Mower Help
help, my lawn mower is acting up!
started to mow today, and got ~5 min into it when it started to act as tho it was starved for fuel.
it started fine as always and after running great for several passes, it wanted to stall. in fact, i had to stop it since it would not cut out alone. it will continue(every time) to start strong and maintain for about 10 seconds before struggling to stay on.
just a little background and history...
fairly new spark plug
burns oil, so the plug and air filter(also fairly new) were cleaned and re-oiled respectively, after this issue started to no avail
oil level is fine
took the muffler off w/ same result
it is ~9 years old
carb connection is fine(my edger had starting issues because the carb hose was not fully engaged)
i do not want to take it to a mower shop(too much $$$), that's why i'm asking for your help. i'll sooner buy the reel mower i've been wanting.
i thought carb, but why does it start and stay strong for a short time, every time?
thoughts?
