Lawn boy mower issues

16 years ago

Sunday, May 9, 2010

Hi,

I also have a similar problem as hdxl2000 (Rob) had some time ago but when I place the lawnboy mower on itÂs side to look underneath, the fuel seems to drip from my muffler. The fuel is seen actually dripping off the sides of the muffler. After it sits all day or a couple of days you will see a large size fuel puddle on the ground. I have a Lawn Boy walking mower (model # 5247) quiet old but IÂd like to keep it if itÂs salvageable. Do you know of any video site that shows how to correct this problem? Is it the air seal? It runs with a lot of smoke and after about 15min. of running the motor it begins to run slower.

Thanks, - trez
