Hey all. My father-in-law gave me an awesome mulching mower a few years ago and its been working great. The past few weeks I've had a lot of trouble starting it and I recently noticed that the tank that had gas in it when I left it did not... and there was a small puddle on my garage floor. (and some gas on the mower itself (obviously)) Anyway... I would normally try and fix it myself (search my username here :) ) but I have a newborn (3 weeks old) so I brought it to my neightborhood repair shop. I'm just curious what it my be and what I might expect from them when I get the call. I didn't notice any obvious leaks, but I'd assume a float or something is stuck somewhere causing the leak and flooding... Any ideas? Thanks so much Dave

I have a 22" push mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine that has begun to run roughly. I replaced the spark plug and temporarily removed the air filter but it didn't help. I am also told it could possibly be bad gas, which I doubt, or a vacuum leak. Can someone please tell me what I can do to make this run well again. If it is a vacuum leak, how do I go about finding it? Rich
