Did you check the top of the gas cap for tape over it top of gas cap should have a small hole all the way through it.take a small piece of wire see if you can push it through . you might have other issues. If it does not.take cap off and drill tiny hole through it .or send cap back where you bought mower explain you want a new cap.
Most lawn mowers you do not. It should say on the gas cap. I you see a gas cap and a oil dipstick then it would be plain gas. A lot of lawn boorontes oil/gas mix. Hope this helps!
First step is to take the gas cap off and tip the mower to pour the old gas out. Leave the cap off for awhile and let the rest of the gas evaporate. After you have handled this, pull out the spark plug and pull the started a few times. This will push whatever gas is left in the carb and lines into the cylinder where it can evaporate or spill out of the spark plug hole.
You need to find a "vented" gas cap for your mower to continue running with the cap on. You can buy such a gas cap for most mowers at Wal-mart or similar department store and it will say "vented" on the packaging.
You may want to check the gas cap to see if it clogged with dirt. If the gas cap is clear, you more than likely have a carburetor problem. If you need tips on carb. cleaning, feel free to ask.
