Hello,
New to the forum, new to owning my own mower. I have zero experience with small motors. Here is what's happening. I bought a mower used. It's a craftmans 6.5 eager1 self propelled push mower. It was supposed to run great... it doesn't. I can start it then immediately it stalls. I've been watching YouTube videos and working on it for 7 hours now. I'm persistent. I want to fix this. Please help?
I checked compression - good!
I changed the oil - good!
I pulled the carb bowl and cleaned n sprayed it down, it was clean prior - good!
I got a new spark plug, it sparks - good!
I go to start it back up. I can't even start it now. I prime it up, then it'll start then stall.... still...
I included some pictures. For starters, what controls that rod with spring connected to the carb? If I reach my hand in there, it moves beautifully but nothing I do from the outside moves that rod. Am I missing something? Any help would be awesome. I feel like it's a fuel issue?
Mike
