lawnmower - engine problem?

[PHiuR]

i checked the spark plug and put a new one in. worked for a good couple weeks and now when I start it. it will start then sputter until the engine dies...


anyone know what the problem may be?

Take the spark plug out and see if it's getting fouled.

Clogged carburetor? Get some carb cleaner spray, remove the air filter, & spray the inside of the carb. Also dump out the gas & put fresh gas in.

Not really enough info, could be a lot of things.

Make sure it has fresh gas. Does it have a primer? Maybe you aren't priming it enough.
