Bought this mower in non-running status (bad idea). I cleaned the carburetor, replaced the head gasket (now has 80 pounds of compression), checked for fire at the sparkplug while i tried starting it, looked like plenty of fire. Carburetor appears to be getting plenty of gas to the float bowl. But it would never fire up. I tried starting fluid with no noticeable results. When it finally did do something it looked like the engine kicked back and then went on turning over, but still never fired. Any help would be appreciated.
