Hello, I hope everyone is well.
I have a problem with my lawn mower that has completely baffled me. It's a 2015 McColloch M46-125WR with a briggs and stratton 450E engine. Earlier on in the year I replaced the carb as it was running very lumpy with more smoke than what should be normal coming from it and that worked a treat. Last week I was mowing and it gradually died (like it does when you run out of fuel).
At this point, I had a spark at the plug so as I had bought a spare carb at the time, I just put the brand new one on. It still wouldn't fire up. I then found there was no spark so I bought and replaced the coil. Still not firing up and still no spark! It had to be the small earth wire so I changed it. Still no spark! The magnets in the flywheel are fine too
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever came across this problem before and is there a fix? My logic tells me it should be working by now?
Thank you in advance
