Small engine/ push mower repair in Aurora

[Lucky]

Looking for someone in North Aurora/ South Stapleton area with experience in small engine repair for help with Craftsman push mower. No bag, no assist, just a simple lightweight Craftsman.

Seems to be a simple issue, it cuts out repeatedly after 10-30 seconds of running. Please send a message if you know someone with a little time to help me figure it out and fix it.

Thanks

This sound similar? If so, you might try the fix.

If you get the carb off I can go through it and dip it this week

Change the filter if any. Pull carb clean jet, needle & seat.

Doesn't anyone remember small engine repair from high school ?

Oh, wait, that was the early 70's, guess some members weren't even born yet...... And that isn't in the later high school curriculum.

Hence the pull & clean carb.

I had a similar problem with previous landlord's supplied lawnmower. I can fix computers, so the engine was easy. Youtube also helped.

I will have y'all know I disassembled a box fan this evening because of a ticking noise. Found some casting flaws in the fan blades hitting the motor housing causing the issue. Couple cuts with a knife and all is quiet and balanced on the air flow front.


oh and I can fix your carb too.

There is a lawn mower repair shop on Chambers just north of Colfax or was a couple of years ago.

CavSct1983 and Kazoo: thanks for the input. Fuel cap not clogged. I got what I need today to remove and clean carb. Will also change spark plug and air filter just for fun.

DFBrews: if I can't figure it out I'll send you a message, thanks.

SideShow: my HS did not offer Small Engine Repair but I killed it in Home Economics
