Mower repair in Parker

[Doc45]

My son needs to get his lawn mower worked on, can't get it started-it's only a couple of years old. He's tied up for a bit with his National Guard unit on their annual training, I told my daughter-in-law I'd help her get it to a shop in Parker if we can find a reputable one. Thanks.

Replace the plug... Start it up.

Water in the carburetor is a easy check. There should be a drain plug on the carburetor. Happens to mine all the time. Makes the engine hard to start.

I bought a $22 lawn mower from a pawn shop two weeks ago, all it needed was for me to do this to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMd4FDZaJ1w

Good luck!

As much as I hate to say it, Potestio Bros on Longs Way does good work. Big John Deere dealer with a big service dept.

I differ in my experiences with Postestio Brothers equipment. They are rude, over priced and their work is not always reliable.

Don't waste the money unless you have it to waste or don't have the time to fix yourself. Simple fix. Full the air filter, spray carb cleaner on the jet inside the mouth of the carb. Clean it w swab if needed. If that does not work, take bowl off carb and blow out jet from the bottom w carb cleaner. I've fixed mine and 2 others this season. This is all they needed.

Rude and overpriced I totally agree with, but their work on my mower has been decent. I hate walking in there.

My mower always had a harder time starting after it has sat all winter. Might be time to change plugs, filter, air cleaner, oil.

I have an old mower that was old when given to me when I moved into my house four or five years ago. It always starts, I've never done anything to it, and I've used it maybe twice a year for the last two years. :shrug:

The ethanol in our gas causes the jets to clog up if not used. Simple fix.

He had already changed the plug, cleaned the carb, still no go, sorry I left that out of the original post.

Potestio Brothers Parker 303-841-2299 ask for Ron Burns, if he is available.

Contact Nik Lenski 719-65one-40one9. He is an independent guy just east of Parker that does great work. He will be much cheaper than Potestio. If you are set on taking it to a shop, go to JR Village Repair located next to the Harley dealership on Pine Lane just east of Parker Road.

This is a long shot, but try cracking the gas cap loose and see if it'll start. My mower, the gas cap gasket rotted away and the cap was sealing tight to the tank neck, and the tank wasn't venting. It would run fine until the tank vacuum-locked and the gas stopped flowing.

But that didn't affect starting, it started and ran fine. And would keep running if the cap was cracked loose, or the tank was 1/2 empty. The cap gaskets are designed to keep the gas in but still allow airflow for venting.

Go with an independent that's been mentioned, avoid the high-dollar shops. Mowers are just too damn simple to pay big bucks for repairs on. I guarantee it'll be a simple fix.
