Hi, my two-year old son poured some water in our lawnmower gas tank.
I’m not sure how much water, but before my wife told me what happened, I had started the lawnmower and it ran for about five seconds, then it sputtered out. Each time I started it it would do the same thing.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
It likely that simply draining the tank and then filling it with fresh gas will solve the problem.
Drain it out completely and replace with fresh gas.
You might also take the bowl off the bottom of the carburator. Just watch out you don’t let any little pins in the mechanism in there slide out of place. And, you could try running through it some alcohol, “dry gas” I think is the name for it, which is miscible with gasoline and also with water.
