Small engine repair

[refugepsa91]

Ronald,

Its not cheating!!! It pulls me terribly so I mow all the flat ground at a brisk jog.. Neighbor laughs at me...says I should of picked a mower that didn't outweigh me I learned real quick to release the "self propel" bar going downhill.... The momentum dragged me to the woodline I forgot to let go

Dave,

I too grew up on a farm, wow me and your wife would have a blast!!! Of course you and my hubby will probably be gray before we were done My hubby don't like me on the riding lawnmower either...says its not normal to turn on two wheels And don't understand why I insist on high gear. I'm not into observing the scenery...I like to feel the wind whizzing past and white knuckled steering

trav,

I love it, someone else who like lines!!!! Finally someone who understands

Wayne,

All my male neighbors say the same thing. Will actually stop at the side of the road while I'm mowing, flag me down and say "What in the world are you doing?" Ummmmmmmm mowing....they just look at me and shake their head, then offer me the use of their rider And then when I say we have a rider, they pull away with a confused look. They keep asking and offering, maybe they think our rider broke everytime they see me out there. They just cannot compute me wanting to push mow.

Angel, I enjoyed the push mower when I was young..

didn't know they still made them..wow..cool..

I enjoy mowing with them ...why...

(Hope the new coil fixes the problem for you Dave...)

Bro Chuck,

Muffler Bearin? Is that near the discombobulator or something?

Must be an accessory on Wayne's PUSH MOWER or something?

I'm sure Brad could convince it to start, I'm just afraid he might pull out his Light Saber or maybe a Long Sword. "(Heavy Mechanical Breathing) Mower.... I am your Fatheerrrrrr (Heavy Mechanical Breathing again)"

I know about you West Virginians and fixin cars and such. Just Kidding, you know I Love you Brother Chuck.

I will keep you all informed.

Peace,

Dave

Stephen says that if you end up taking it in and they tell you that you need a muffler bearing to tell them to just leave it as it is..

Your mower will work just fine without one and they will probably charge you $75.00 for it..

Helloooooooooo! I ask AGAIN! What is a "Push Mower"?

This question is from Wayne "if it don't ride, it ain't worth havin'" Smith.

A push mower is what I use on my steep ditches and for nothing else, lol!

What were ya' thinkin' when you bought land with "steep ditches"?

Ask my Dad and Mom what they were thinking, lol! They're the ones it belonged to when they bought it in 1977, lol! I'm just a latecomer who had nothing to do with buying it! One ditch is pretty easy to ride through but the other one would break my neck if I tried to mow down it, lol!

Success!

The hulking beast roared to life this afternoon.

After some rust removal on the Cylinder head and a new coil with the proper gap setting. New life came and she was ressurected. Hallelujah! Grass was partially cut to be continued in the morning.

I still have some cut off switch issues. However after some manipulations, only slightly dangerous, she is up and running.

Thank you all for your help.

My 7 year old son Lukas watched me complete the task. He asked why I would want to turn wrenches like this. I told him first of all he should watch and learn so that he could be self sufficient and fix his own mower some day.

Then I told him real men don't ask for directions either.

The Lord bless all of you.

Peace,

Dave

true words there brother Never ever are we lost...just sidetracked, so says hubby.

Now, about you leaving the lawn half done....don't that rider have headlights? How did you sleep knowing it wasn't all done? I would of went crazy....I'm trying to talk my husband into mounting two mag-lights on the front of my push mower, I had to stop once at night and it drove me bonkers, he just smiles at me. The way I look at it, he mounted a bucket seat from a van on his rider....so I want mag-lights on my push mower
