- Stop the lawnmower immediately and turn off the engine. Do not attempt to start it again.
- Remove the spark plug. This will help to prevent the engine from starting accidentally.
- Drain the fuel tank and carburetor. Use a siphon or fuel drain hose to remove the gasoline from the tank and carburetor. Be sure to dispose of the gasoline properly.
- Clean the fuel tank and carburetor. Use a carburetor cleaner or solvent to clean the inside of the fuel tank and carburetor. Be sure to rinse the tank and carburetor thoroughly with water after cleaning.
- Replace the fuel filter. The fuel filter may be clogged or damaged by the gasoline, so it is best to replace it with a new one.
- Add the correct fuel mixture to the lawnmower. Use the correct ratio of oil and gas for your lawnmower. Refer to the owner's manual for the correct ratio.
- Replace the spark plug. Install a new spark plug in the lawnmower.
- Start the lawnmower and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to circulate the new fuel mixture through the engine.
Safety precautions:
* Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area.
* Avoid smoking or using any other sources of ignition near the lawnmower.
* Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from any potential hazards.
Note: If you are not comfortable performing these tasks yourself, you can take the lawnmower to a qualified repair shop.
