Flymo Quicksilver 46sd with Briggs and Stratton 450 series 4 stroke engine.
A year or two ago the above mower was hunting and puffing black smoke, I replaced the diaphragm under the carb and it was running sweetly. It rested up last winter (nothing drained down), I had a bit of a job getting it started this spring, but it ran well once going.
On it's second outing, I can't get it started at all. There is fuel in the tank, there is a spark and the air filter is ok, there is no smoke coming from the exhaust, but it does smell of burnt fuel. There are no signs of it firing at all, not even a chug.
I wondered if the diaphragm may be shot again, but the priming bulb shoots fuel straight in, so I would expect it to fire then die if this was the issue.
Anyone have any suggestions?
