    My Honda ACS 160cc OHC lawn mower engine won't start.
    Fresh gas, spark plug, good spark, new filter, it just won't start. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Make sure the choke closes all the way. On other thing I have seen on OHC engines is dent covers that keep the valves open.
    Peace,

THe lawn mower used to start right away. I have had difficulty getting it started lately. Sometimes with more than 5 pulls. Now it smells flooded. I have even purchased a new spark plug, have checked to see that it is getting fire, but still does not start no matter how many pulls.
