Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Lawn mower dies, squirt bottle, water in the fuel

Question
My lawn mower is difficult to start, when I finally get it started, and move forward to mow it dies.  Then it won't start up again.

Answer
Hi David-
You have to determine the nature of your problem, whether its a fuel problem or an ignition proble.  Get a small squirt bottle of gas, leave the air filter off, or the hood up.  Squirt some gas- is it easier to start?  Likely you have water in the fuel bowl and mayabe some in the tank.

Lemme know how the test goes.
