My mower wouldn't start after I shut it down while I was using it. After cleaning up the carburetor, putting in new spark plug, new air filter and new fuel, it started but stuttled for a few seconds and then stopped.
While I was cleaning the carburetor, I noticed that the rubber plug into the carburetor where one of the cut-off cable goes is broken. That means that the carburetor is not air tight. My question is whether this matters. What is the symptom of air leaking in carburetor and whether this is possibly the problem that the engine will not run.
Please advise.
