my partner's mum is unable to start her Electorlux LC400 lawn mover and
i was wondering if something could be done to make it easier for her.
it's nearly new & starts perfectly for me but she doesn;t have the
strength

is there something that couild make it easier - maybe an electric
starter?

thanks

I don't know the model and its a long time since I used a pull
start for anything.

The problem maybe, is that by the way the thing is designed
you need to keep one hand on the handle to steadt the mavchine
while gaining sufficient momentum with a short sharp pull with
the other hand to start it.

Maybe if you could devise a way of securing the machine,
you could fit a longer cord with a handle at the end
which she could pull with both hands at once, maybe moving
back with her feet at the same time. This might deliver much
more momentum to the flywheel at the cost of very little extra
effort on her part.
