Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda mower starting problem, honda mower, new spark
QuestionMy Honda Harmony HRM215 lawnmower won't start unless I run a hair dryer by the spark plug for a couple minutes to heat up the engine. Then it starts on the first pull. The pull cord also seems easier to pull than when it's cold. I've put in a new spark plug and when the lawnmower is running it runs great. Thanks for your help.
AnswerMost hard starting Hondas are fixed by removing, dis-assembling and cleaning the carb with compressed air from and air compressor.
After cleaning and refilling with fresh fuel/stabilizer added they start easy and run great.
Is your fuel fresh? Stale fuel can cause hard starts.
Let me know.
