Morning.
Been given a petrol mower name on label is Wilko.
On the top enging cover it shows DG350 98.5cc & has an OHV engine.
I could smell something like meths / parafin so i emptied the tank / cleaned it & put in fresh fuel but still the mower would not start.
I removed the fuel pipe at the carb & petrol came out so all ok there.
So i removed the carb & give it a clean.
The brass jet which has 3 holes in it has been cleaned but the holes do not line up so you cant see through them etc for a blockage but i think they are now all clean / free.
I am able to blow into the carb inlet fuel pipe fine & when i lift the float up i am then unable to blow again untill i lower the float so to me this all seems ok.
I have removed the spark plug & tried 2 others that i have but still the mower will not start.
Ive have now removed the coil & checked it with a multi meter.
With the meter set at 20K i put the RED lead in the spark plug cap & the black lead on the coil metal piece, My reading on the meter is 11.87
Does this tell you that its working but resistance is to high & that is my problem as to why the mower will not start.
I am able to pull the cord to start it but it just pulls the engine over but no attempt to fire / start not even a pop or backfire etc.
Please advise Thanks
