    This little critter won't start. Engine has compression fuel and spark. Will not start with starting fluid. What the heck? Kill switch?

    B&S lawn mower 650 will not start without starting fluid.

    Does not appear warped. Replaced Air box to carb gasket, primer bulb. Cleaned Mower starts and runs on 3-5 pushes of primer bulb. Also cleaned carb, and flushed all passages

    650 engine will not start without starting fluid. Once started it will continue to run smooth and normal. Has new spark plug and air filter. Dirty carb? Primer not working?
