FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If it's sputtering, won't start, dies under load, or makes odd noises, bring it in. A clogged carb and bad spark plug are the most common culprits. Call to describe what's happening and the owner can walk you through next steps.

Price depends on what's broken: a spark plug swap costs far less than a full carburetor rebuild. The owner will give you a clear estimate after he sees it. Call (443) 896-4524 to ask about your specific equipment.

Check that the fuel is fresh and the spark plug is clean. If the engine still won't turn over, the carburetor may be clogged with old fuel. That's when to call and get it in. Troubleshooting over the phone can help, but a hands-on look is best.

Serving Savage

Savage is a small community in southeastern Howard County, built around a nineteenth-century textile mill on the Little Patuxent River. The old mill buildings now house Savage Mill, and nearby Savage Park follows the river with wooded trails. Housing mixes older homes from the mill-town era with newer neighborhoods and townhouses closer to US Route 1 and Route 32. Lots near the river and park are often shaded and damp. That leads to clippings packing under mower decks and moisture getting into stored fuel. Like the rest of central Maryland, Savage gets hot, humid summers and cold winters, so mowers and trimmers spend months in storage.

Why Savage customers need this work

Shaded, damp yards and long storage are a hard combination for small engines. Wet clippings hold moisture against the deck, and condensation can get into a fuel tank that sits half full. The result is often an engine that cranks but won't fire, or one that runs only on choke. Draining bad fuel, cleaning the carburetor and checking the spark plug and ignition gets to the bottom of it. Cleaning the deck and changing the oil keeps the mower healthy.
