- Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
First. I can't beleive there's no LAWN MOWER section. Or i couldn't find it.
Second. My lawn mower won't start. i did a full run through in March. new fuel and oil filters, battery, blades, drive belts, spark plag and oil change. Today would have been the first time using it since then. i got on it, crunk it, and mowed, for about 15 -20 minutes. It died. checked everything. the plug was black and wet with gas. I let it sit for a few ours and it crunk, but spit black smoke and putter'd out. threw in a new plug, and nothing. i couldn't find a replacement plug wire, but i did grab a solenoid. I haven't put it on yet, bit want to know what my problem is before i start down the wrong path.
The motor is a Briggs & Stratton 17.5 on a Craftsman 42" Riding Mower Tractor.
