Mower started on first try and then immediately died 5-10 seconds later. Now it just cranks and doesn't turn over.
I've taken apart carburetor and cleaned everything I could. I also replaced the inline fuel filter. I'm really wondering if it's a problem with my fuel line. I'm not sure if my mower has a fuel pump or not. When I took off the fuel filter I had clamped the hose running from the gas tank to avoid a big leak but unclamped it to check it and noticed there is no fuel coming on it's own. Is that normal? Does the fuel pump pull the fuel from the tank. I tried starting it again and checked the new fuel filter and there was no gas inside it.
Is this a broken fuel pump or something else? There is gas in the tank and nothing leaking anywhere. Please help!!!
