"Betsy" wrote in message ... My lawnmower has been on the fritz all summer. It started cutting out when it was running. I took it to the local neighborhood guy (he has a landscaping business & fixes mowers on the side) and he "tuned it up" and etc. and it ran fine. For awhile. Then the pull rope broke. I replaced it. It ran fine. Then a couple weeks later it became difficult to start. As in 15-20 pulls and a shoulder almost out of joint trying. And when it was turned off it wouldn't start again. I took it back. He said it was the starter, and replaced it. Cost $80 for that and a wheel lock which was broken. The "starter" ??? Doesn't make sense if this is a "pull start" machine. Unless he meant the recoil starter - the spring loaded mechanism that holds your pull cord. Maybe the "cogs" are not engaging - this would account for why he can start it and you can't. Before actually pulling, give a quick tug on the rope to engage the "cogs" - make it a short tug and you shouls quickly feel resistance. |
