Default Lawn mower just fell in the pool...

great advice Bob!!!! (another reason I love this newsgroup so much, you
never know when someone here is so informative, and I mean that most
sincerely) got any clues as to what to do about the cord on mine that is
stretched all the way out and refuses to rewind? new cord? New cord and
reel? Squire is on the road and I sense the grass soon will suspect as much
and need to figure this out before it starts growing in the paths
soon............
madgardener up on the ridge, back in Fairy Holler where I do have weedy,
grassy growth between the raised beds in Eastern Tennessee, zone 7, Sunset
zone 36 once it gets consistantly warm

Remove the air cleaner. Tip the thing to get water out of the
intake and exhaust. I would crank it over a bunch to flush water
out. Then change the oil. If there is water in the oil, plan to
change it again soon. Pull the plug, squirt in a teaspoon of oil,
and crank it with the sparkplug hole held straight up to
distribute the oil on the cylinder walls. Pop the flywheel off
and dry out the "points" (whatever they are in your engine) in
the cover underneath. Then store it awhile in a warm dry place to
dry out.

But then again, I wouldn't take it to the shop.
