Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Help with Bolden push lawn mower, hp model, dipstick tube
QuestionI have Bolen push lawn mower 4.5 HP (model# 11A-414E765, serial no. 1A115K21858). I had problems with it last summer. So I put it in thwe garage. Low and behold, I went to start it and it is still not working. I changed the gas, put on a new spark plug and added new engine oil. I was unable to do a bottom oil drain. I press the push primer about 10 times and pull the starter handle. It will start for a few seconds and then it will stop. I noticed some smoke coming from the muffler. Is there soemthing that I can do? Thanks.
AnswerDon't feel bad Gerard. Apparently at allexperts.com there are about 5 people a day with this same question.
You have to clean your carburetor. It has clogged jets and must be disassembled and cleaned.
By the way. There is not a bottom drain plug. You need to tip the mower on it's side and pour it out the dipstick tube.
