Can anyone help me? I cannot get my fairly new (4 month old) Cal trimmer (B&S engine) to fire back up. I Started mowing and the engine didn't sound quite right so i shut it down. Now I can't get it to start.
One thing that did seem odd was when i went to check the oil, as soon as i open the dip stick some oil started coming out. I put the recommended amount of oil in when it was shipped to me a few months ago. But this did seem odd. Also noticed a "gas" smell in the garage after using it the other week, without actually filling it up with gas that day. I did not see any leaks under the unit though. And the gas smell went away.
****Aug 6th update. So I drained the oil out today and as I thought, it was mixed with gasoline. Being only 4 months old, I assume I should call the warranty number?
Should I even bother with adding new oil or just call the warranty?
Thank you for any suggestions.
