Wont Start?
« on: March 25, 2006, 08:16:49 pm »
I just got a Simplicity mower with a 14hp engine from a friend at work. The first thing i did was try to start it, no dice. Then i  took apart the carb and cleaned it, no dice. then i tried to put gas in the carb and start it and it would only run like 1-2 secs untill the gas i poured in went out. anybody have any sugjestions on what i should try to get it to run?

ya the fuel from the tank isnt getting to the carb so replace the gas lines  and filter then if not sstill blow into the gas tank to manually force the gas into the carb
