the problem is either u have trash in the bowl of the carb or the float in the carb is stuck. either way u need to have someone look at it.

Yes, clean the air filter if it's a foam , washable fliter. If it's not the washable kind , replace it. Also replace the gas filter if there's one on the engine. Buy a can or bottle of carburetor and fuel system cleaner and put it in the gas tank to clean the carburetor.

just disconnect the gas lines and take out the two bolts that hold it to the engine

add a fuel system cleaner to the fuel tank and run the machine. you will want something that will get to the valves. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kelly_69a0cf1b13789df1

Bad float. Remove bowl from carb. Replace float and meter needle valve.

unplug the spark plug and tip the mower towards the side with the oil filler tube. Place a bowl on the ground to catch the oil. Thats it!

Down on the left side of the engine is a little switch use an ohm meter to see if it is making when you try to start itr. Some times they get loose or the female wire clip gets loose.GOOD LUCK....

Can you adjust tensioner

There are not but two valves, intake and exhaust, and I doubt they need adjusting. Matter of fact I doubt anyone could do much to adjust them. Sounds like to me you've got a fuel mixture problem which could be as simple as changing the air filter. If that doesn't help it's likely carburetor related. If you have a bowl type carburetor, take it off and clean out the bowl with carburetor cleaner and make sure the float moves freely up and down. While you're at it spray it thorough all the jets in the carburetor. If you don't have a bowl type, buy a new set of diaphrams and gaskets and replace the old ones.

ok, if this is the one you have? pay attention. their should be a small metal hook with a loop on top, hook the Z shaped end into the butterfly of the carb. the other end goes to the gov,plastic lever, sticking out..the bigger longer spring hooks to the speed ajustment lever hook the other end in the big loop on the hook. the small spring, hooks to a flat metal post sticking up. the other end hooks into the big loop as well.to keep everything from bouncing around

there should be adjustments on each wheel. Place the machine on a flat level surface and adjust each wheel so the blades are at the height you want it to be. Make sure all the wheels are all at the same height. Usually, the bottom of the deck lip to the floor equal all around.

the carb is located under the aircleaner it sounds like the mower is being fan at full throttle this on some mowers applies the choke try ajusting the throttle to full then slightly back to open choke.

gap needs to be 10 thousands of a inch done with a brass feeler gauge ..mag/flywheel has a spot with a magnetic field if you look you can see it it should make a 1/2 wrench stick to it if not replace mag/flywheel ..check key way also

turn upside down drain plug should be on the bottom.as far as the oil, if it has a dipstick, go by the marks, if not. set on level spot and fill to top leaving enough to replace the plug..have fun!!

If there is a drain plug, it's probably under the mower deck and really not of any use. Get 3 or 4 feet of clear plastic tubing small enough to stick down the fill hole and siphon the oil out. You can use an infant nasal bulb to get the siphon started. It works best to set the mower in the back of a pick-up or on a bench so the oil will flow. It's slow but not as messy as turning the mower on its side to drain the oil.

Ok, the spring will more than likely unravel when you remove the pull cord cover/assembly. There is notch in the spool for winding the rope around it. So make sure the spring is wound enough to fit it in the housing. Then take the rope, already knotted and in the spool. Turn the spool in the direction that tightens the spring.Push down on spool and allow spring to retract the rope. (Don't forget to tie the knot in the rope handle before placing on mower). Then lightly clamp in vise or visegrip, or channel lock pliers. I like to use visegrips on one side, and channel locks on the other. Place over the square flywheel nut,release channelock pliers, hold with fingers tightly so the spring does not unravel. Then release visegrips and hold with other free hand, Place over flywheel nut and slide down. Re-attach with screw previously removed. Your done. Don't forget to tie the knot in the rope handle before placing on mower.
