My Son just picked up an Old Jacobson Hand Mower with "power burst" & rear drive: It is so old that No literature can be found online for it.
Sometimes it starts and runs great and other times it refuses to start & We tracked that down to "no spark" !
It appears that if you monkey with the throttle ( Before stating, by pushing the throttle to Power burst and then put the throttle in the mid speed setting) and also to fully disengage the rear wheel drive a few times ..... 50% of the time it starts!
What else "spark wise" should we be looking at?
