try spraying some starting fluid in carb if it starts rebuild carb

If you are referrig to 2 stroke oil, the answer would be no. Generally speaking 2 stroke oil is mixed with gasoline at the appropriate ratio and is used in gas powered weed eaters and chain saws. A lawnmower for the most part is considered a 4 stroke motor. You only need to use gasoline in the tank. Make sure that at the end of the season the gas tank is pretty low or even allow it to run dry. This is simply to avoid the harmful deposits that old fuel can cause to gaskets. If emptying of the gas tank is not easy, you can add fuel stabilizer to ensure that the fuel is usable for the next season.

Hello,

My name is Dane and I am going to try to help you solve your problem. I believe that you have clogged jets/passages inside of your carburetor. This can happen when an engine gets little use, allowing the fuel in the system to get old and begin breaking down. If fuel is left in a carburetor for more than a year, it can eventually turn into a jelly like consistency, and clog the fuel system.

The other way to block these passages is to allow dirt or other debris to enter the fuel tank. This will be picked up through the fuel line, also clogging the system. The easiest way to determine if you have a clogged fuel system is to remove the air cleaner/filter, and spray a little starting fluid directly into the carburetor opening, and crank the engine. Do not use a large amount of starting fluid. If it starts for a couple of seconds and then quits, you've found your problem. A clogged carburetor. If not, you have another problem. Using too much can harm your engine.

You will probably need to remove, disassemble, soak, and use compressed air to blow out the jets in your carburetor. Pay close attention to how the carburetor is attached to the engine. Make a drawing if you need to or take some pictures. Remove the carburetor from the engine. You will need to disassemble the carburetor as far as possible and put it in some Carburetor cleaning solution. You can get this at any auto parts store. Do not place rubber parts in the solution. Allow it to soak in cleaner as directed, and then blow out the ports and jets with compressed air before you assemble and reinstall it.I hope I've helped. If you found this information useful, please leave feedback as deserved. Thank you! Dane

Hello there, the arm keeps falling loose because the bolt which is supposed to tighten it from the inside might have fallen of as a result of continuous vibration from use of the machine or the lever mechanism which holds it in place has gotten slack or disconnected from its actual spot on the lever.
Check the adjuster for a bolt which is meant to come with it if it is still in place tighten it with either the screwdriver or spanner whichever is appropriate. If this is not the case then the lever behing the adjuster is what needs to be set properly to hold the adjuster in place.
Hope this solution has been helpful?
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

The air filter is located on the right side, opposite side of the muffler. It is behind the flat vertical cover on the right side toward the forward end of the engine. The cover has a curve on the left and right side of the cover.

Hik marie carten...
Normally white smoke coming out of the exaust will me one of two things.
You have overfilled the crankcase with too much oil and it is making the smoke, in which case you can drain the excess oil out and that should elimanate the white smoke.
Or, you have a worn out engine and oil is getting by the rings of the piston and being burnt in the combustion chamber of the engine.Which means engine overhaul, or buy a new mower.

Briggs and stratton sae 30 engine oil or any other reputable brand sae 30 engine oil is fine. Regards Phil

What I would do in this case is to run the engine to get the oil warm and to help remove any buildup from the bottom of the oil pan. Then tip the engine over until the oil level check is right above the container that you drain the oil into. Then take out the dipstick and let the oil drain out that way.

Check your fuel filter in the fuel tank, if you have one.
It may need replacement or cleaning.
Also check your fuel tank for debris/trash and clean it out if necessary.
If the mower/weedeater is over a year old, then I recommend that you buy
and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard
and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
Sounds like you will need to clean the carburetor or replace your carburetor
internal rubber parts like the diaphgram and O rings.
Be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the fuel and air passages.
Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small
rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages.
Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or using starting fluid
and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of
the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
Keep in mind that the float for the carburetor must be level when you go to
reassemble the carburetor or follow the instructions you get with the
carburetor kit.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need
to lightly seat the jet screws.
But before you lightly seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes
to seat the jet screws from their original position.
Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper.
That way when you put the jets back in, you know to lightly seat them first
and then turn them back out to their orginal position before you started.

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly. The primer is the choke. You press ther primber bulb 3 times with the gas tank full and then hold / grip the safety bar at the top of the handle against the handle then either use the key start or recoil to start it. Just make sure the engine crankcase is filled with the correct amount of oil before starting. Sorry for being brief but it really is that simple.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

Kelly

I think your mower has a 4 cycle engine. That means the oil goes in the crankcase and the gas goes in the gas tank. No oil mixing needed! If you look at the top of the mower you should see two caps. Each one will be marked with what goes in them.

The oil should be 30 weight non-detergent oil. Available at your local car parts store or Lowes or Home Depot.

Gas is just plain old pump regular.
