I bought my neighbor’s non running lawn mower for $5. I had it running in 15 minutes and am still using it 5 years latter. It’s all in how you talk to it!
adam’s mower seems to have a bail bar. he needs to hold that against the mower’s handle or else it will never start…once it starts, you release the bail to kill the engine. it’s a safety feature they’ve had on mowers for twenty years…
I can’t start my mower because it has no engine. Just push. My younger son actually uses this old fashioned device to stay in shape I. The off season. It’s a win-win.
You would think that after all these years, that someone would be smart enough to design a lawn mower that starts with a simple key egnition like a car! This would solve the problem of constantly trying to yank that &@$# cord just to get the engine going! Eventually the cord will probably snap and come out of the mower from excessive wear and tear!
I never needed to mow during the winter, so the gas would go bad and it wouldn’t start without a lot of work. I bought a battery powered model and it always starts. ( as long as I remember to charge it up ).
I mowed my pastor’s lawn today (he’s allergic to the grass) and despite the mower’s age, it starts with just three priming pumps, holding the bar and one good pull.
When I was growing up, we had an electric mower also, which is what I learned to use. The only tricky part was making sure you don’t run over the cord (which my sister did once).

That’s me and a weed-eater. Then my 78 yr old MIL pulls it once and goes to it.

The kids need exercise. They’re going pot-bellied.

This is funny but only if you have never had it happen to you.

I remember my dad cussing out the lawn mower every Saturday.

I’m with you, my mower and trimmer are electric. Just plug and go.

He should get an electric mower like I have. All I have to do is hold the red button down, pull the trigger, let it come up to power, and mow away.

Why I bought an electric mower.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance: but will the lawn end up cut?
