Re: Initially Lawn Mower Won't Start - After it starts it runs perfect.



The governor is typical for many small engines that run at one speed.
It sounds like this engine is not getting the extra fuel it needs to
start. Check if there is a choke that is not working. If there is no
choke then the primer is the only means of adding the extra fuel, be
sure the primer is delivering fuel. A small crack in the primer bulb
can really limit the fuel delivered.
