Buy a Honda mower. They have a bulb that you push in 4-5 times to prime
them. They start first pull, everytime.

Just make sure the blades are knife sharp or you will be wishing you had
that
pull cord mower back. The next mower we buy will be an electric
rechargeable.
Maybe one day they will make a solar mower. By then I hope to have a
mostly
solar and wind energized home.

My point is, if you have to mow more than half inch with a push mower, you
will
die of heat stroke! You may have to mow twice a week.

GRRR....I would like to have mowed the grass today (our "yard" is so
small
that I could probably do it with scissors) but I can't because I can't
pull
the cord hard enough to start the *(^% thing. Why are they so difficult
to
start? A friend is giving me her Mother's old push mower which should
alleviate the problem!
