I tried to mow the lawns. The mower had a different idea...View attachment 3967245It crapped out half way. Don't know what the fuck is wrong with it though.

And yes. I know the lawn is long. That's what happens when no one brings back the mower for two months.

Looks like the new line trimmer might have to finish the job.

If you're to lazy to mow your lawn regularly you have to raise the mower deck for the first pass. If you're to lazy to raise your deck welcome to the inevitable.

Thing is. I did raise it. Did the entire edge with it. And a side section. It's when I went to go back to that large section in the pic that it shat itself. Most of that was done with my weedwhacker.

I even gave it a rest and a cleanout. And checked the sparkplug, etc... It seems to want to start. Then dies after getting some speed up. That's without even being on the grass.

Its not a case of being too lazy. It's a case of I didn't have a mower to cut them. I keep asking for the thing back. And I keep getting "I'll do it another day".

Carl Chillders wants to know if you checked the gas.

Plenty of gas. And haven't a clue what a carb looks like on a mower. A bong is a different story...

Actually. When it comes to any motor. I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Easier to walk behind a self-propelled mower than weed eat at least for me, female, less upper body strength, short so less leverage, the physics is against weed eating and votes for mowing and yea there are times I have to bend over and move the mower deck up for a pass, lower mower deck and it's still easier!

I like weed eating, it's like being in your own gladiator movie. Smells like victory ;)

Side note: does your push mower have 4 wheel drive? I went from front only to 4 wheel drive a couple of years ago and it makes a big difference.

You're much larger than I am. Based on body type I'd do poorly in the circus.

I think it's front wheel only. But it's adequate, best of all it supports itself :)

Oh I know for a fact it wasn't that. I had it checked. If the fan isn't working, it cant pull fresh air through the coil. That's why it cools while you're driving but gets hot when you're idled.

no problem at all

Low freon will cause it also. My mazda was doing the same thing. Both will cause the same symptoms.

The higher rpms cool it better with low freon.

My mazda leaks about a can a year or year and a half. I'm not tearing into it when a can cost 5 bucks at Wal-Mart.

Word, that's why I had it checked first. Then I turned on the truck and the ac, opened the hood and the fan wasn't working. After I replaced the fan motor it went back to normal.
