My 10 year old Craftsman mower cranks right up when cold. However, after stopping, it will not start. It cranks fast, but wont start. It smell like it is getting too much gas. I have the choke in and idle down.
Any ideas?

When it gets hot and will not start pull the spark plug, hook it to the plug wire, and lay the plug on top of the motor. Crank it to see if it is getting arc. It it is getting spark then you have a fuel problem. Make sure your gas cap is venting. Take the gas cap off and try to start it. You could have a bad float needle or gum in the carb. It wouldn't be a waste of money to rebuild the carb on a ten year old motor.
