Haven't sprayed yet but I did take off the air box cover so I could temporarily block off the intake of air through the carb. Saw a video where a mower continued to run after so doing (meaning that enough air was getting in elsewhere) thus indicating and later revealing a cracked intake tube. When I did this, my mower died immediately indicating that maybe the tube is ok. Given this test, do you still recommend doing the spray test? The only reason I am hesitant is because I have to remove the recoil & shroud to access the tube for spraying which means having to start the mower with a drill.
