Lawn Mower won't start

17 years ago

Hi there. I have a lawn mower that won't start. It's not very old as far as usage goes...bought it 2 years ago and it's had starting trouble for awhile. I've put on a new spark plug, changed the oil and the gas. Still having trouble. I'm assuming it's in need of an air filter change. The only thing I can find is a big yellow sponge (is THAT the filter???).

The mower is a Weed Eater. The Model number area says Electrolux model number 96114000302. I've looked it up online and can't find anything about it. All I want to know is where the stupid thing is located. Any ideas?

It's very unlikely it's the air filter. Most likely it's the sponge. Weedeater is a brand that lasts about 2 years and then you start saving up for an Echo.
