My lawn mower got so it wouldn't start and so I suspected a fuel line blockage. If I tip the lawnmower toward the front so that gravity gets gas to the engine it starts (after I put in mower back level of course) but it stops after 2 or 3 seconds.
I took the fuel line off but there is no blockage. There is no blockage in the tank. Could I need a new carburetor? What would cause the gas to not be able to get to the engine when the mower is level but allow gas to get there when the mover is tiped toward the front?
Is there a fuel pump on a lawn mower? I don't think so but I don't understand exactly how fuel is drawn into the engine.
I have the whole mower torn apart. I had to take the carburetor off just to get to the fuel line so while I have everything torn apart I'd like to get some advice.
Thanks, gb
