    Ok, so my petrol mower usually never lets me down but recently it would go for about 10 seconds and stop. I'd prime it with the little rubber button and start it, and sametagain.
    Then before it would cut out id prime it while running to give it fuel, but got tired of this obviously!
    So I cleaned the carburetor and then fuel started leaking from the primer button. I gather the engine was then being flooded as it just wouldn't start
    Anyone know whats going on here??
    Many thanks.
