Sears - Poulon Lawn Mower, Starts then Stops
Original Message   Aug 2, 2007 11:17 pm
This is a four year old "push" mower with no frills purchased plain and simple at $119.95 when new.  It's been running flawlessly until this week when I tilted the left side up about 80 degrees to repair the left-rear wheel.  After the wheel fix, it wouldn't start.  Thought I flooded it so I let it sit for another day. 

Next day, after a few extra tugs, it started briefly, ran roughly then quit.  A few more tugs (95 degree day) and it would do the same.  About a year ago, it wouldn't start unless I gave the cable attached to the handle an extra pull while yanking the starter cord.  This mower would start with the first pull of the season after sitting all winter.  Sounds like it's not getting a continous spark after running briefly. 

Any suggestions.  Sounds like an easy fix if someone knows what they're doing.
