I have murray self propelled lawn mower. Last couple of weeks I noticed it uses alot more fuel than usual (App.70%)There are no leaks. After the initial start it will work for 10 minutes and it will stop or the RPM drops by 80%. After that, every 2-3 minutes RPM goes down and I have to stop the mower. Once I start it again, it runs good for another 2-3 minutes than I have to stop again and restart. I couldn't figure out what the problem is. Do you have any idea what the problem may be. Thanks
Hey mate, just with out hearing it or seeing the unit run, i would guess that the air cleaner may be blocked, when this is the case the mower struggles to get enough air and tricks the mower to think it is on choke this inturn increases the fuel consumption and also fouls spark plugs and the troubles begin, the fix for this is to get the mower serviced every 30-40 hours of use, even more in extreme conditions this will guarantee
smooth and efficient running every mow...

Remove the air breather filter, it might be dirty. Stephen.
