Seriously! Just wondering if anyone here knows what I should do
before I take it to the shop tomorrow.

The first thing I would do is take it out of the pool. I am sure others
would agree.

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.

If it was a gas mower, I'd be more worried about the gas (and oil) than
the grass. Pool filters aren't made for that sort of thing.

If it was an electric mower, let it dry out at least a few days before
plugging it in again.

Sober-Up?

Hound Dog

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

Maybe you should lay off the alcohol.

Drunk driving an automobile is against the law.

I would take the plug out before cranking. Unless the lawn mower was
running when it went in, there's probably not much in the cylinder, but
if there is, it will make it very difficult to crank.
