HOW TO FIX A LAWN MOWER
THAT WON’T START
The good news is that most of the time, lawn mower problems are the result of dirty components or poor fuel storage; sometimes both.
PREVENTING
PROBLEMS
Use fresh gas — no more than a month old — whenever possible. Also, adding fuel treatment, like Seam Foam Motor Treatment, will help stabilize and optimize your fuel’s performance. Sea Foam Motor Treatment can be used to stabilize fuel for up to two years, making it ideal for storing seasonal equipment.
For regular maintenance, add 1 ounce of Sea Foam Motor Treatment per gallon of fuel. To clean your fuel system, add 2 ounces or more per gallon.
THE FIRST STEP TO AVOIDING ENGINE TROUBLE IS TO GET IN THE HABIT OF routine maintenance.
To fix most mowers that start hard or won’t start, you’ll first need to gather a few things: a Phillips-head or standard screwdriver, spark plug wrench (usually ⅝”), a socket set, Sea Foam Spray, Sea Foam Motor Treatment, and a container to catch fuel. Then it’s time to get started.
HOW SEA FOAM fixes carburetor problems
To clean a carbureted engine that won’t start or run right, first drain any old fuel. Then, add 8 oz of fresh fuel and a high concentration of Sea Foam to the tank (up to a 1:2 ratio of Sea Foam to fuel). Crank/rope pull/prime the engine to draw the mixture into the tank, and let it sit overnight before starting.
Sea Foam Motor Treatment can also be used as a fuel stabilizer for engines that aren’t used frequently, preventing gum and varnish from dirtying carburetors and fuel passageways.
