[QUOTE="Bo Loo, post: 1027269, member: 65732"] Hi all, I have an MTD RL638 riding mower. Recently it is very stubborn to start. I replaced the lower bowl of the carb, installed new fuel filter and spark plug. Still wouldn't start. Took it to a local small engine shop and the tech wrote on the invoice that the "carb was airlocked. cleared air lock and it started right up" That was about 6 weeks ago. Now, it's acting up again. The majority of the information I was able to get off Google searches is about vapor lock. Is vapor lock and air lock the same? If not, how do I clear the air lock and how do I prevent it from recurring? Many thanks in advance to all that assist. Picture of the setup can be seen at this link: [/QUOTE]
