mower starter problem
I bought my first push mower a couple of weeks ago. It's a Murray
mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It worked fine when I first got it home, but when I tried to use it today, I discovered that the starter cord is stuck. It pulls out 2 or 3 inches and then sticks. Some wiggling will get it out a few inches more, but when I let it slide back in and try and pull it again, it again only will come out 2 or 3 inches. So, I cannot start my mower. Any ideas? I'm new to the world of mowers, so don't have much of a clue and would prefer not to have to open it up, but I don't see any other alternative at this point. Thanks |

Thanks Take the cover off ( 3 or 4 hex nuts ) and check how the cord is wrapped, it sounds jammed. |

Did you buy it new? If so, it should have a warranty that would last at least a
few weeks. Take it back, get a new one. |
