I finished our taxes last night. There were a couple of new taxes (one due to ACA). I am proud to know my taxes paid for 3 lug nuts on the F-35 fighter and one outing with food, alcohol, and women padded as marketing expense for the new fighter.

gas helps too

Lol full of fresh gas thanks.

Haven`t turned it on since last october or so. Barely makes a cranking noise.

Oil is good and full.

Spark plug perhaps? I bought this new and it was flawless for 3 years so far.

Sadly i was kind of looking forward to mowing the lawn.

Only 3 things to really check on a mower are fuel, spark and air. I had an issue last year with mine not starting and it turned out to be the air filter was done for. Removed it to try and start it and it fired right up.

Did you drain the fuel and was it out of the weather over the winter?

Last time i used it before "winter" i ran it till empty. Stored in garage always.



mechanically it tries to crank. sounds like its not fully cranking..perhaps spark plug but without buying one how do you know?

i guess i gotta figure out lawnmower repair 101 eventually

gas helps too

"Karl come see if you can figure out what`s wrong with this thing. It won`t crank up and everything seems to be put together right."

"It ain`t got no gas in it"

"See that Scooter, he thinks of the simplest things first."
