My mower won't start. The primer bulb had cracked rubber bulb so i replaced it, it seems to be very slow to respond when i depress it and it doesn't seem like it is priming. I am not sure how to check if it is getting spark or not. How do i check? Does anyone have another suggestion? I will need a big farm field mower pretty soon! Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

I was able to get mower started, after cutting grass for an hour i was mowing for 30' & it stopped. It seemed as though it ran out of gas, still had 1/2 a tank. I have been able to start but same thing happens. Has anyone experienced this? What to do?

My experience with this in 2 cycles is that you need to clean the carb. It is "slow to respond" because fuel is not flowing through the carb properly.

I removed and cleaned the carb, replaced two gaskets, and filled gas tank with fresh fuel. The lawn mower started, after 5 or 6 primes, but only ran for <3'. I have heard the engine coil is often found to be bad, can an engine coil work sometime then stop? How do i check the engine coil?

If you have a plastic carb, there is a jet on the left side of the carb, under the decal, which needs to be cleaned. As for a farm field mower check out the Kubota's with a tow behind mower.

I removed the carb, plastic, and used a carb cleaner spray go clean every single nook & crannie. I reassembled it and after 5 or 6 pulls it started and ran for about a minute.???

Did you find that jet under the decal on the left side of the carb. It has a very small hole in the center that loves to plug up.

That mower should have the F series engine. To the best of my knowledge, the jet behind the decal of the plastic carbs are found on the Duraforce powered models. They have a wider bolt pattern as well, and will not fit the F engines.

Did you replace the rubber o-ring on the nozzle and make sure that it is seated tightly when you reassembled it. If it is not tight, you will have an internal air leak.

I replaced the gasket btwn carb & motor & the gasket btwn the top plastic part & the bottom plastic part that encases the float. I am not sure what the "rubber o ring on the nozzle" is?
