Why can't my Murray lawn tractor be started Replaced plug fuel line and filter Runs when gas poured in engine but not with key start?
You say it runs when gas is poured in the engine but not with the key start. Two questions: (1) where in the engine are you pouring gas, and (2) how are you starting the engine if not with the key? If you mean you are pouring gas in the carburetor or in the spark plug hole and it starts with the key, but doesn't start if you don't pour gas in, the needle valve on the carburetor may be closed or the float may be stuck in the closed positiotion. You might also want to check the throttle linkage.

I left some gas in the power mower last fall. How do I get it to start now. I don't know what to do. I am a female?
The best thing you can try is to empty all the gas out of the tank and put fresh gas in it (not too much because you want the engine to run out of gas). Clean the spark plug or get a new one. Pour about a spoonfull of gas into the spark plug hole, install the spark plug and the spark plug wire and try to start the engine. The engine will probably cough and sputter and try to run - you will smell the bad gas in the lines trying to burn, and then the engine will probably die. Repeat the process of cleaning the spark plug and pouring fresh gas in the spark plug hole until the engine continues to run on its own and let it run until it runs out of gas. Most, if not all, of the bad gas will have been burnt off by the time the engine runs out if gas. Pour fresh gas in the tank, re-clean the spark plug and you should be ready to go. If this doesn't work, you will probably have to take the mower to a repair shop (unless you are mechanically inclined and know how to remove/clean the carburetor and fuel line(s). Next fall, you want to let the engine run until it is out of gas before you put it up for the winter. Or you can add a fuel stabilizer (I prefer to let the engine run out of gas).
