Sorry long winded.
I need help with a push lawnmower. It is a murry 625 E with a 190cc engine. I bought it in April 2012 from Walmart. I mowed with it one time and it worked fine. The next week when I tried to start it it would not do anything. I messed around with it and got it to work. Basically just ran a can of started fluid through it. After that my yard died and I didn't mow again until the next spring (2013). I pulled the lawn mower out of the garage and it wouldn't start. It was about 10 months old at this time. I called Walmart and they told me to call the manufacturer which told me to take it to a local shop to fix it. So I took it to the local shop. It took a month. While it was being fixed, I fixed my old broken one and mowed with that. When I picked it up, the guy pulled the cord to show me it worked and it wouldn't start. He took it into the back and 45 minutes later came out with it and said he fixed it. He said he originally replaced the float in the carb, but when he took it to the back he changed out the fuel with high octane and fuel stabilizer. I never used it until this past week. I pulled it out and it wouldn't start. I flushed the gas out. I opened the carb and made sure all the ports were clean and open. Everything looks good, but it won't start. I can get it to run if I am spraying starter fluid into it, but as soon as the fluid runs out, it dies. It doesn't look like it is getting any fuel which is a carb problem, but the carb is spotless.
What am I missing. This thing is 2 years old and has been used 3 times for a total under 3 hours.
One thing that may be the key to the problem is that when I push on the primer bulb it doesn't prime the mower. My older mower, which is the same model, you would hear the fuel prime and if you pumped it enough, you would see some splash out into the carb and if you did it too much you could flood the mower. This one sounds like air when I prime it and I can never flood it. No mater how much I prime it, I can start it with starter fluid.
Any thoughts?
