so i mow my crazy grandparents lawn every week. maybe last year it was they bought a new mower, honda. anyway, when i turn it on, it has to idle for a whole bunch of minutes or else when i engage the blade, it stalls. ive mowed a lot of lawns, and never come across this before. obviously there is something not right about this piece, but what is it? what can i do to fix it? cause its driving me nuts!

assuming that its a 2stroke carb'd motor, replace the spark plug and clean the air filter element for starters...[addsig]
