Dummy Dance 2

(In which our hero gives the !_)@*# up and contemplates going the !)(&@@^ back to bed)

Okay. Swelling goes down, I head outside to mow before the Big Bad of all thunderstorms hits, judging from the radar images.

I get outside, and the friggin' lawn mower has suddenly developed an aversion to actually cutting grass. It starts, I get about six inches mowed (shaddap), and it stops. Multiple times.

So okay, I fill it up. It was a trifle low on gas. Easily fixed.

Nope. Still stopping.

So I prime it one last time, give the cord a mighty yank.. and the flippin' cord ZINGS back to its alloted(sp?) resting place, slapping the bejeesus out of me nipple on the way. But it's running again, so I try.. and you guessed it. Stopped.

So, all in all, I smell like gas, have a stingy sore nipple and I'm going to go read some of sailorjim's stuff and sulk.

Did you check underneath and see if the blade was clear and not being stopped by grass clippings and such?
Another possible cause is the sparkplug or air filter being dirty.
Check the oil too.

best thing is to get someone else to mow it for you :)
