  • Does this model have a fuel filter? Replaced spark plug, used Sea Foam to treat fuel and still will not start. Only 3 years old. Also replaced air filter and changed oil. What could be the problem.

  • User Non avatar #105159 United States7 months ago

    There is no fuel filter, but there is a small outlet screen inside of the fuel tank that acts as a filter. The screen is inside of the gas tank right at the fuel outlet port. If you shine a light in the tank while it's empty, you can see it.

    Starts but dose no stay running

  • User Non avatar #102251 Asia11 months ago

    A full gas tank and oil reservoir are the essential first steps when checking why the lawn mower won’t stay running, but the problem could also be a dirty filter, clogged carburetor, improper fuel mixture, or a dirty spark plug.

  • My lawnmower has only been used once. Now it won't start. The cord is stuck. I checked oil and gas and air filter and spark plug

  • User Non avatar #102255 Asia11 months ago

    The reason the cord got stuck is because the handlebar hasn't been pulled out far enough. The bottom of the handlebar is blocking the blade, under the deck, from turning. In order to fix this, you'll need to loosen the wing nuts at the base of the handlebars, pull out the handlebars a few more inches and then retighten the wing nuts. Those handlebars need to be clear of the mowing blade.

    How do I get the mulching off ? M 100

  • User Non avatar #103687 United States9 months ago

    This mower has mulching capability already installed on it. The blade was designed for mulching, and one must simple close the lid on the chute door to allow mulching.
