I think I did a medium level cleaning, I didn't see much oil in the spark plug but when I shook it I can see oil come out of it. Hopefully that will do..? Thanks

Just get a new spark plug. They’re cheap enough and then you’ll have a new compression washer as well.2

And you need to bear in mind every time you turn the key and hear a "clunk" you are potentially doing the damage which will cost you a new £600 engine to fix.Did you follow the instructions ThisIsWeird gave about turning the engine over with the spark plug removed? If so, did the engine turn over, or did you get the same clunking noise?2

I read this, but not sure how this can be done in this mower engine..??How do you turn a car engine over?The best way to turn your engine over is to place the socket on the front of your engine's crankshaft bolt, which is typically mounted to your crankshaft; then take your wrench and use it to manually roate the crankshaft (turning the wrench in a clockwise motion).0 -
