    Question:
    I have a LC121P Mower have used it about six times last year. The mower was purchased in April 2016 - I have cleaned the air filter, checked the spark plug and the spark (Appears to be good), Put new gas in tank. After about twenty pulls I gave up. Mower does not act as if it trying to ignite the fuel. What do I need to look at or where can I take it to be looked at?

      Just you need to drain the carburetor fuel bowl, just putting fresh in the tank won't replace the bad fuel in the carburetor. If this doesn't work then most likely the carburetor will need a good cleaning.

      I had several walk behind at the start of mowing season this that bad in fuel bowl was the cause of the lack of startup.
