We have a 6 HP DR power wagon with a Tecumseh Vector XL/C Ind. cast iron sleeve engine. The problem is it won't start. There is gas to the carb(The carb was new last fall) there is spark to the plug. Seems like the primer button is not working. Any ideas?
 
Is the sparkplug wet or dry after trying to start it?

Spray starting fluid in carb and hold finger over primer. If it stops running after you let go of primer button, then replace the button.

Check to make sure muffler is not stopped up with mud dobbers nest. Make sure gas is gas instead of water.

If the carb is like the one below, there are two small O rings inside that rot out. I find it hard to believe they would rot out after a year but they do cause issues with this carb. I would try cleaning bowl out first.

Thanks RRobert, I did finally get the thing going. I did put gas in the spark plug hole and the engine started. I had new gas in it and after I got it started I ran it for quite a while to get it good and hot. Thanks again Randy.
