Lawn mower won't start with out being jump started . Changed battery. After jump starting mower and while mowing engine stalls while mower deck engaged . If mower deck is shut off before it looses...

HI jLAFORCE 1.
Other possible causes include: Loose, Dirty or Disconnected Spark Plug in Your Lawn Mower: Check it out, clean off debris, re-connect and tighten. Fuel Not Reaching the Engine: Tap the side of the carburetor to help the flow of gas. If this doesn't work, you might need a new fuel filter.

Ran over somthing with lawn mower now it wont

You're right to check the flywheel key - are you certain it's ok? Also our instinct is to tip the machine over to clear the obstruction, which can send oil to places it shouldn't be! Does the machine have compression? It's possible to break the con-rod if you hit something really solid. You can check the piston's still moving by taking out the spark plug and inserting something like a cable tie in the plug hole. As you turn the engine over you should be able to detect the piston moving up and down. The jolt could also have dislodged coke in the engine that could foul the spark plug. Try fitting a new one. Come back to me if none of these solutions work..

Nannie what can be wrong with my power devil petrol lawn mower the engine wont keep running then cuts out petrol and oil ok

Check air filter, check screen in bottom of fuel tank,
New spark plug and also check the spark.
If there is a weak spark, the coil may need to be replaced.

If you have good spark, clean air filter, and clean fuel tank screen, then the carberator will need to be pulled of and cleaned out with solvent

Can not start mower - petrol n oil ok - how do I get into s plugs

Hello,

Fuel in the oil indicates an excessively rich condition. To correct, you will need to drain the petrol contaminated oil and replace with new. Then, take out the old spark plug and leave the spark plug hole open. Turn the engine over several timesby hand to help vent any raw gas in the cylinder. Then, install a new spark plug.
You should be able to now start your engine and make any other adjustments with it running.

Cheers!
