For those taking the time to read thru the posts, the problem was it would never start the first time every day, without a spritz of starting fluid.Īpparently it was getting electric thru the spark plug wires (shown by the tester) but loosing too much power thru the caps resulting in a weak spark. If you remove the air filter cover and the air filter element, set the carburetor to RUN and spray the starting fluid directly into the engine. You can look and see if the 'magnetic' pickup on the flywheel is adjacent to the coil when piston is at top dead center on compression stroke. If it popped off once and now nothing it COULD have sheared the key on the flywheel. Spray starting fluid through the air filter housing opening to the carburetor. Remove the air filter cover and pull out the air filter. Here we are on Wednesday morning, and again, it started right up. jerrymeeuwse 4 Right off the bat, it sounds like a timing issue. Follow these steps to start your lawn mower with starter fluid: Move the lawn mower to a well-ventilated area free of open flame or sparks. Tried again a few hours later, it started right up. then I'll start checking fuel-delivery to the carbs. If it still doesn't start while the weakener is disconnected. If it starts, the weakener solenoid is bad. (I had tried new plugs a few days earlier and it didn't help the situation.) I'm waiting on somebody to show up that can try starting the car while I hold down the button with one hand and spray starting-fluid into the intake with the other hand. Put the new spark plugs in just because the old ones had been used for a season. If you are using the frame as a ground, you may have significant volt drop. But, I refreshed the plug ends of the spark plug wires and made sure to forcefully push the wires into the caps as they were screwed on. Suggest a volt drop test on the + and - sides of the battery. The old ignition coil tested ok again, and again just for s&g I put it back on the ski. On a whim I tested the resistance on the solenoid. Tuesday morning, took the old solenoid and coil off. Using starting fluid to get the engine running faster avoids wear to starters and fatigue to ones arm with pull start engines, especially on rarely used machines. I received the new starter solenoid, ignition coil, and spark plugs. Starting fluid is sprayed into the engine intake near the air filter, or into the carburetor bore or a spark plug hole of an engine to get added fuel to the combustion cylinder quickly. When engine is shut down, fuel gradually leaks out of carb bowl, but float does not come down to allow the bowl to refill, so now bowl is empty, no gas to start when you try next time.
