Hello,
I have a Honda HRR216VKA lawn mower, which I bought in May 2013. I really haven't had any problems with it until recently; currently, it will not start unless I spray starter fluid through the hole behind the air filter (presumably into the carburetor). Prior to trying starter fluid, I'd read on a forum that some mowers will start if turned on their side (i.e. two wheels in the air). This worked for awhile (I turned it to the right so the air filter was on top, of course), but that's ceased to work. Obviously, I know these are very short-term solutions, and I'd like to find out what's wrong with it so it can be fixed. Below are the things I've tried/checked:
The gas in the mower is probably four to five weeks old, so I suppose that could be the problem (or at least a problem). We generally used in a shorter period of time, but the past time, we must have bought more than we needed. With the mower being so new, it is under warranty, but I'd prefer not to take it in for two reasons: 1). It's inconvenient if it's something I can fix myself and 2). There's a chance I'll be charged for them to look at it if the problem is my own doing (such as bad fuel). Any help you can offer would greatly be appreciated - thanks in advance.

- Replaced the air filter
- Check the spark plug gap
- Changed and checked the oil
- Cleaned under the mower deck, as well as removed the grass where the mulching plug is
