I have a Lawnboy mower that's 3 years old but has only been used 4 times. It was stored with old gas in it. I added fresh gas and gas treatment and was able to use it twice, several weeks ago. Now it won't start. Today, I cleaned the carburetor, bought a new spark plug, drained the gas tank and added fuel stabilizer to fresh gas. It still won't start. What should I do next?

Kohler XT149-0225 Parts List and Diagram : eReplacementParts.com Check air filter for replacement. Where was mower stored? If stored in shed remove blower housing, top cover on engine, see if you have a nest in there, if so clean everything with shop vac etc. & inspect wiring for being chewed on.

Thanks for your reply and the link to the diagram! It was stored in a garage, so no nests. The filter appears to be clean. Wires are not chewed on, but I think it MIGHT be electrical issues, since the carb is getting gas. I'm thinking about replacing the ignition module.
