Pop the plug in a low oven for a spell and try again. Assuming you have spark of course ;)

Wouldn't it be quicker in the microwave?  ;D
Microwave is better for drying out a poodle or whippet rather than a spark plug.
What is this obsession with Yorkshire? Do you really hate Lincolnsausageshire so much? You make the most implausible jumps from any subject to matters Yorkshire, if you want to move here, I can't see any reason why you shouldn't.  :-*

You'd be great friends and neighbours and could bicker over the fence!  :y  ;D

Briggs mower engines are like visitors ....... they'll go eventually.  ;)

By contrast, I have an old Honda Izy in the garage. It hasn't been started for at least four years and the tank was bone dry. I very slowly pulled the cord a couple of times to make sure it was free and then put some fuel in it. On the very first pull it almost started but spluttered and died. On the second pull it started and ran like a good'un.  :y  That's how they should work.  :y
But that doesn't really help does it.   ;D


That's because it's a Honda. Which is Japanese for "does exactly what you bought it for."


On that note:


Toyota - not quite a Honda
Mitsubishi - I can't believe the parts are so expensive :o


Yamaha - neeeeeoooow, crash, bang, silence


etc

You've flooded it then ::)

Flooded it? :o

If the f*ucking thing started when I pulled the cord I wouldn't be able to flood it.

Once up and running it will usually restart every time on the first pull. Leave it alone for a couple of months and it becomes the mower from hell. :-[

Er....it was a jump from putting plugs in the microwave to putting a pooch in the microwave. Where does Yorkshire come into it? :)

Good question, they're too tight to buy microwaves in Yorkshire

You can always gently nip it with your teeth if you like variety, or cover it in warm chocolate and then.......

I'd better not say any more to an innocent 'Darzett' lad or you may become inflamed with lust. ;D
