Thanks for the replys.The mower is about 6 years old,but its in great shape other than the inability to start.
I took the carb apart and cleaned everything..it doesnt seem to have any restrictions to gas flow anywhere.'
It has a black primer "button" on the carb that is used to prime the carb before its starts,I did notice a couple of what looked like very small holes in the rubber.I`m wondering if thats my problem,and if so,are they a hard replace? Part to get?
