Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): mower wont start, spark testers, spark plug
Questionhi eric i have a victa 2 stroke mower i cant get it to start i have checked the spark it has plenty of that i think it could be a fuel problem i would like to know if theres any way to check if its gettin enough
AnswerI would start by replacing the spark plug and changing the fuel. As for your spark question, most of the inline spark testers have a .166 gap which simulates spark under compression conditions. I have only found one ignition module that would show spark by grounding the spark plug but would not spark across the ignition tester.
How old is the mower?
Let me know.
