    Mine was working perfectly, until the tip of the spark plug bumped the gas meter pipe.
    Ever since then it starts okay, but dies shortly after the actual mowing starts.
    If I hit the primer several times, then it will run (raw gasoline cleans the gap?).
    I'm going to try a new spark plug, as I suspect that that's the problem.

    I would bet the carb is clogged up and just needs to be cleaned and the fuel lines replaced. Its not hard, and is very common due to the type of gas we are forced to use. Best thing to do is empty gas tank at end of season, and run engine until all residual fuel has been burned. Sta-bil fuel additive is your friend.

    Briggs & Stratton? Black smoke is usually from unburned gas, oil smoke is usually lighter in color. Replace the gasket and diaphragm between the gas tank & carburetor. It's cheap, about $3. My walk behind (slightly newer at 8 years old) did the same thing. Replacing that diaphragm did the trick...
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Or you can install a cataclysmic perverter!!!
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Except that the perverter operates off a 20,000 Volt spark plug potential, rather 110 VAC.

    I get no kick from propane
    Liquified gas is a pain in the ass
    So tell me why it'd be true
    That I get a kick from O2
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
