Best Answer

If it's a mix-in-tank two-stroke and it has stood all winter the oil will have settled in the bottom of the tank, been drawn into the carb and fouled the plug. Give the tank a good shake, clean out the carb chamber and wash the plug in neat gasolene. When the plug is dry refit it, put a few drops of neat gasolene, or spray eazistart, into the carb switch on gas pull the handle and mow the lawn. At the end of the year, after the last cut, before laying the mower up for the winter: with the engine running, switch of the gas and let the engine stop on it's own. Then next year you only have to shake the tank!
