THE REASON YOUR PUSH MOWER WONT START POWERSMART 209cc 

power smart mowers are not good , some of the newer ones with a Briggs engine and re-designed handle bars 2024 year fix many of the problems, I picked up one off side of the road, it was locked up, it was full of oil, freed it and was ok after that. its on loan to my son since his roommates mower was in the shop.

Great instructions!!! I have a powersmart. It was great, season 1. This is the beginning of season 3. Horrible. Won’t start!!!

Have the same mower. Bought it back last September. It seemed like a good deal for a 22" with a 209cc engine for $229. But since day one I've had troubles with it. Day one it took a a few minutes to get started. Just thought it needed to be warmed up. Then i put it up for about a month. Yanked it back out and it wouldn't start at all. Cleaned out the carb that had sand and grit all around the intake. And it took over 30 minutes after cleaning to get started. Put it away again. And just yanked it back out. Again wouldn't start. The carb intake was once again junked up. Cleaned it. And had trouble starting. It ran for a few minutes. But started smoking and engine was bogging up and down while shaking. Now won't start again. About to use this as target 🎯 practice. Any ideas what's wrong?

I have a POWERSMART 209cc mower that will not start. I will try this!________________________ Also the black rubber bulb that you push three times to prime it. Before pull starting the 209cc. It has a 1/16th" to 1/8th" diameter gasoline leak right in the center. Do you know something I could seal it with? That is gasoline proof. Or a common lawn mower engine item I can replace this bulb with?

Thanks for the video. Great instructions. Saved me from junking this Powersmart mower.

junk yard digs shows you can use a torch cleaner by the way same results and probly cheaper than that carb tool

can you just use a torch cleaner tool to clean the jet with out taking the jet out just dont want to risk using the wrong screw driver

Very helpful, thank you so much

Can't get ethanol free gas in Canada anymore.

I have been searching for a video like this for a while. Thank God I found this. I have this exact lawn mower. I bought it from Home Depot. It will not start after sitting through the winter. I hope it is the same issue as this one. I have learned a valuable lesson watching this video. God Bless you for making this video.

Excellent!

Good video.

My PowerSmart 209cc mower says use regular gasoline. This is 87 octane. I can buy ethanol free gasoline at Wawa, but it is 89 octane. Won't this higher octane harm the engine? Burn the valves, I believe? If so, I will try to find ethanol free 87 octane near me. To run this 209cc

Thank you and I gave you a like

I just showed my son in law this exact same thing. Ethanol is rough on things and I learned years ago NEVER use in 2 stroke weed eaters or chain saws. Worse in those applications and I always use the pre-made stuff now. Haven't had issues since.

Fixing to start working on mine, thanks for the video…

Nice quick vedio straight to the point
