    Honda lawn mower
    I've got ahonda walk behind lawn mower that I just had serviced(new spark plug, oil, gas, blade sharpening)and my husband left it outside. And of course it rained. Well now it won't start. He's taken the spark plug off and made sure there was no water on it but what else can we do to get it to start. We never had this problem before.

    Usually a little rain won't hurt (tell your husband he owes me). You should put a new plug in it and fresh gas, it may just be a fluke or there may be water in the fuel (hard to get in tank through vent).

    Move the choke lever to full choke, reach down at mower and push choke lever manualy as well. Hondas have a problem not going to full choke.

    HI,
    I have the same problem except that the machine was bone dry all winter. This spring I put in a new plug, cleaned the air filter and put in some gas and it start but will not run when the choke comes off.

    If anyone answers your question it will probably answer mine as well.
