I have a 2 stroke lawnboy 1 speed steel deck mower. From a cold start a couple pushes on the primer bulb and it will fire up and keep running. When I stop to change the bag it will not restart. I have to wait for it to cool down. The carburator is far from the engine as is the fuel line. I have tried repriming, not priming nothing works till it cools down. Any ideas?
Thanks

chek to see if spark is present at the plug, when you encounter this prob.
if not, then you have a coil problem and will need to replace it.


bye.
