I have been trying to fix my lawnmower for the last few hours and it is driving me crazy as I just can’t get the dam thing to start. I took out the spark plug, cleaned it and made sure all the contacts were ok. I removed the pull cord mechanism and rubbed down the magnets that create the spark with fine emery paper so the whole thing looks like it is almost new and realigned the electric coil.
After all this I put the lawn mower back together and said a decade of the rosary before I tried to start the mower and you guessed it “NOT A PEEP”. I then removed the air filter and carburettor which I took apart and cleaned every little nook and cranny before putting it all back together again with the anticipation of cutting my lawn.
Yeah I’m afraid I could feed cattle on the crop of grass that is growing on my front lawn at the moment and it doesn’t seem it will change for the near future at least. My next step I will do is call a good friend J (sounds like kimmy but starts with a J) who used to manage a hire company and ask his valuable advice. I have a feeling he will tell me to go and hire a lawnmower so I will continue this blog in 15 minutes or so.
30 minutes later or so!
I rang J (sounds like Kimmy but starts with a J) and he told me to do all the things I already did except one thing “get a new spark plug” So after taking it apart for the second time and putting the lawn mower back together (under the watch full eye of Rocky) I will go down to the village tomorrow and buy a new sparkplug. So tune to my next post and hope fully I will have good news. Also if anyone has any other advice regarding my lawnmower, please let me know.
