Try changing the spark plug. if that doesnt work check the fuek lines for hole and leaks, check the fuel filter and clean if necessary. remove the carbuerator and inspect the gasket; it should be soft and flexible, if it seems hard or brittle replace it. clean the carb with carb cleaner sray (available at any local auto parts store) and compressed air. make sure you get inside the small fuel rail holes. also check the primer bulb for pin holes and proper seating/seal.

Clean the air filter (foam type) in warm soap water then apply some oil soaked in, it will smoke afterwards for a short time. Or possible minor adjustment too the mixture screw on the side of the carburetor spring loaded. Allan

Draper petrol lawnmower wont start

Check the fuel...most often stale fuel creates havoc...YOU MUST FLUSH THE TANK donot add to old crumby gas, YOU MUST clean out the carb(remove the fuel bowl and carb spray all the tiny openings,orifices, check the air filter, check the oil, Add NEW fresh fuel, and hit with a quick spray of starting fluid just prior to restarting...should run out well.

My Troy Bilt Self Prop. Z-start won't keep running. I clean All, replace Filter and Plug, have clean gas and lubed all. It Starts for 2 seconds and then cuts off. What do you think it could be? Thanks....

I had the same problem, Tilt the lawnmower on it's side air filter facing up and remove air filter cover and air filter then remove the fuel bowl underneath the carb; then clean the fuel bowl with some gas and a clean rag. For the next step be sure to aim blower tip at target then look away before pressing trigger, this will prevent gasoline form getting into your eyes.Take an air compressor and carefully clean out the carb where the flap is and the tube where the fuel float that would rest inside fuel bowl is. Leave on side install everything back except for air filter and cover. Then pour a little gas in the carb to prime it, lay the lawnmower back on all 4 wheels and try to start.

Will not run

Your carburettor needs cleaning.Remove it and loose it down, wash it in kerosene and blow it out well with compressed air. Hope this helps. Stephen

Fix scott bonnar lawnmower Prisma 37 model

Start by replacing the fuel filter and connecting hose at the leak point. It is important to use "fuel hose" and fuel hose clips - which are different to standard hose clamps.

If you have problems with mice - use a steel braided fuel hose - as they can't chew through these ! -
