eskimo shark?

[jloomis]

i was wondering if anyone can help me out with my auger or recomend me to a small engine shop near brooklyn park. i changed out the spark plug and even put some sea foam in tank. still won't start. i just had it in the shop last year and had some work done to it.

did u clean the air filter. had some thing like that happen to me a few years back just took out the filter and tryed starting and it worked.

bf24,

is the filter the foam looking thing next to the fuel hose?

[ONE BIG POLACK]

it is the foam thing... remove it and try to start it... you could spray/shoot a little starting fluid in there as well.. ( a little) it should take off... its best to run them dry of gas come spring. you wont have as many probs at startup... once you get it started, run the [PoorWordUsage] outta it...

[bigfish24]

thanks ONE BIG POLACK kind of slacking wit the answer. but yeah what he said!

i had a similar problem took the spark plug out and dumped a little gasoline in there. oh that will get it running alright. Lets just say dont add to much or you will be picking your spark plug out of the sheet rock!

Out of the sheetrock, that's funny. I have an Eskimo my Dad had for years, now he lives in FLA and I can punch holes all day long with it. Run the gas out at the end of the season,clean plug and fog the cylinder and clean the air filter, store upright, next season add gas and drill more holes..

thanks guys,

gonna try moving the filter and spraying some starting fluid in it. i've pulled out the spark plug and put in a new one. when i pulled it out it was wet with gas on it so i know gas is gettin in there.

it sounds like your problem is lack of fuel getting into the engine this is usually due to the needle and seat sticking from sitting over summer which is proably the same thing you took it in for last year.
