Lawnmower engine maintenance?

Jun 08, 2006 by April W | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I'm not certain what to replace in my lawnmower's engine. The lawnmwer runs, but it sputters a little. I think there dirt buildup as well. I was going to go to the people who tuned it up last summer for advice on do it yourself stuff so it doesn't cost

check and clean/replace the air filter and check it regularly from now on. Change the spark plug also, it will be fouled because it's not getting enough air.
