Hi all. Have a push mower that will not start "period". I have removed both the gas tank can carb and redid the two, and got lots of spark from the plug. When I try to prime the carb no gas is injected when I look in the carb where the filter is attached. I was told that either the valves were shot or one of the rings on the piston where broken. When my friend and me took a compression test, (thumb on the spark plug hole" he said when I pulled on the cord that he was getting both suction then it would push air back, so he said that is why it will not suck gas to fire it up. Its to weak. Just wondering why when I tried to prime it, that nothing would spray into the carb. I pulled the engine down and piston rings and all looked good, and both valves were seating, and the seats looked ok. Not sure what to do now. Any suggestions, or opinions welcome. Brent@CanBC
