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?

Maybe i dont understand how spark plug works but from what i gather, spark plugs are the spark that starts the combustion process in the engine…So when i pull the cord on my lawnmower it essentially creates electricty to start that “FIRST” spark by the spark plug starting the combustion…What i dont get is how the Spark Plug continues to “spark” and keep the engine running after my first cord pull?
