Snapper Mower Series 23 Wont Start
My snapper mower wont turn over. I have replaced/checked the following spark plug, gas, fuel line and filer, air filter, solenoid. I also sprayed some carb cleaner in the carburetor and it ran for a second and then died. Any advice would be appreciated.

Somewhere on the engine, probably stamped in the valve cover will be the model, type and trim appearing as xxxxx-xxxx-xx, please post this so we can reference engine info. Have a good one. Geo

The carburetor needs to be cleaned. The bowl will need to be removed and cleaned from the inside.

Below is the IPL for the engine, page 5 has the breakdown of the carb, it's either a Walbro or Nikki, as cheese stated it will need to be cleaned. When removing any screw that looks like it is used for adjustment of fuel mixture first turn the screw in a clockwise direction to seat, counting the number of turns, make a note of the number of turns so you can set it to it's original setting when reassembled. Have a good one. Geo
