hi guys, don,t know if this site is for my question, but heregoes.
Got Briggs Stratton mower, 2.5 years old, 6 months out of warantee.
Having a hell of a game starting it after first start, 12-24 pulls.been like it for a while, should have taken it in when in warrantee.
Don,t know if it,s spark or petrol, but my inclination is spark, elecronic.
manual says use sparktester,don,t remove plug to test.
never seen a spark tester. whats the best way to check it,s sparking ok ?
cleaned carb, no visible muck, it,s getting worse.
don,t want to be ripped off by mower centre, or b/s recommended dealers.
i,ve always removed plug, and touched side of engine whilst trying to start, see if spark is visible.using insulated tongs.
any help would be appreciated.
