bad gas in the engine
#1
Nope its not in the jeep but my lawn mower

Ran out of gas today and I put in some I had from the garage, evidently its pretty old and now the lawnmower wont start

any easy way to get it out? Do I need to do anything else to clean it out?

For the heck of it did you try saturating the filter with gas to get it to start. Always worked with mine.
Don't do that thing you do where you presume it's something and then build off that. There's still a lot of other things it could be.
Plus you've always worried about shelf life too much :) It's a scam that only bachelors seem to have discovered.

throw in a match.....
Maybe the mower just needs to be primed better????
