I got some diesel feul in my lawn mower and of course it wont start. How should I go about fixing it?

Try emptying the tank and filling to the top with petrol. If it won't fire, try squirting small amounts of petrol down the air intake as you try to start it.. keep doing this (but watch for backfire) until you've burnt through any diesel remaining in the engine.


btw Washington D.C... that's a nice place you got there!


later
