Quality Lawnmowers

Ben R asked:


I recently bought a used lawnmower - the first times I used it last season were fine. This season, if I use it and then kill it to move something - like our porch swing - the lawnmower will not start when I turn it back on. If I wait a day, it will work again. It has new spark plugs, new air filter, fresh gas,.. It is a snapper self-propelled mower from around 2003, if that matters. Any ideas on what could be happening with it?

Ok, so i’m mowing my lawn last week and i hit a big stick. Long story short, my neighbor had to tip the mower upside down to fix a problem with the blade. It was upside down for a few minutes, and when we turn it right-side-up, the oil and gas kinda poured out the top. So we start it back up, and it runs for about a minute, but spewing white smoke the whole time. Then it just stops running.

We checked the oil, and it was low, so we got more oil and added it. We also added more gas because it was low, and replaced the spark-plug since that was probably filled with oil or gas. But now, will plenty of oil and gas and a new spark plug, it still won’t start.

It’s been like 5 days, and we’ve tried starting it each day, and the first time you pull the cord it almost starts but doesn’t. Then every pull after that it doesn’t come close to starting. Then we try again the next day and the same thing happens.

Please help with any (useful) suggestions. Thanx.

We have a Murray Quantum 4.5 horsepower 20″ lawnmower and it hasn’t been used in a while. It needs a new spark plug and oil.
What types would be appropriate for this lawnmower?
