It's one of those craptastic machines with a Briggs & Stratton 6.0 HP engine on it (which runs like it is weaker than my old 5 HP Craftsman "Eager-1" push mower that runs like a champ). Anyway, buying the mower wasn't my decision, but I'd hate to have to go out and buy another new one after a few years.
Was out running it this morning and it started making weird noises. I shut it off, and now I can't pull the rope to start it. It pulls forward just a little bit, then it locks up. I can pull it hard enough that the mower deck starts to raise off the ground.
Could I have mucked up my recoil starter? Something be jamming internally? The blade doesn't seem to spin very freely, but it rocks back and forth alright...
I'm just unsure where to start tearing into it to try and make it run again, though I think I'd feel the best if I just threw it in a ditch somewhere. I've hated this damn thing since the day we got it... Seems like it always broke some little thing every other time we'd mow with it.
