This lawn mower is intrinsically turd. I got the part, installed it. Didn't spark. ??? So I stuck another old spark plug in the boot and grounded it.... spark. The spark plug was brand new last year and was bad. I have no idea if the old coil was bad.

So I bought an appropriate spark plug, checked to see if it was sparking and it was, set the gap and installed it.

Nothing.

?

I dumped some gas straight in the carb hole same as I did when I first pulled it out this year and this time it started for 2 seconds. Progress.

Took the plastic POS over designed carb apart and blew out the orifice to the bowl AGAIN, put it together and it runs.

Anyone want a lawn mower?

I remember having one old briggs lawnmower probably my dads originally that we left outside... started right up for like 6 years.

AND it cost us $59 at Kmart.

Now they are $259 for a cheap one you have to repair every summer. What has this world come to.
