After my mower sits around for a few days I have the problem of hard starting. I have to remove the air cleaner cover and either shoot either or pour gas down carburater for quiet awhile before it will run on its own gas It's a Brigg and Stration. Thanks

Post model xxxxxx, type xxxx, trim xx numbers from engine, you need to adjust valves. Compression release on camshaft will not function if valves are too loose.
Try rotating top of engine with both hands clockwise just past hard spot & crank with key.

It turned out to be a choke cable issue. A few months back when I started having trouble I took the carb. off and looked to see what it was made of. Make sure it didn't have any water and/or dirt in it. When I put it back on I should of paid more attention to fastening the chake cable. I pulled up on the choke cable now very hard and it will start. Thanks
