Yes, this is a gravity-fed mower. I will go ahead and replace the carburetor because I'm sure I could have missed something while cleaning it. Thanks for the advice.

I sold a cherry super clean Snapper RER on face trash market place. Tuned her all up. Lady bought it. Said it ran great for one day. Next day for her wouldn't start........
Went to her house. I pulled and pulled and pulled, no start. Cranked with the starter over and over and over. Choke was working perfect. Fuel was ON and flowing. Her son a 40 year auto mechanic was looking at it. Some how the spark plug died. He changed it out. I verified spark was good. Still no start.
After talking to the lady a while, she finally admitted she filled the tank with LAST YEARS, untreated E-10 junk gas that was for some standby generator. Last year meant to me last several years. Probably fresh gas on top of sour through the years.
Later, fresh gas and she fired off like a new one. I told her I would of NEVER even thought about selling anything that might of had one small chance of not working. She didn't believe me of course. Her son was like never put stale gas in anything. Funny thing this lady worked or works at Tinker Air Force Base on JET ENGINES. Doing this for 28 years plus. I was stunned she couldn't get the mower running.
Moral of this novel is try fresh gas.
