Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have a key start toro push mower, a nice one, but it got left in the rain and the airfilter lid was off so all that rain water went in there, how should  go about fixing this?

I would say to  take the spark plug out and pull it without it about ten times than see if it will run if it dosent i would then say its for the trash

Get machine out of rain;
Remove air filter and buy a new one or dry it out;
Put dry filter in;
Start engine ( hopefully).

The air filter probably stopped water from getting into the carburettor, if not then dry the machine out by keeping it reasonably warm and dry for a day or two.
