That lets em know you mean business. 'But ive only got $50' you hear them say. A mower shop would charge more than my asking price for a mower for that repair. If i cant get $150+ ( i like $170 or more) i pull the motor off and put it on something i will get that money for. Ive got a couple here that i would let go for $80 but they aint right, old as the hills, bad bar blades and blow a bit of smoke.Īny primer or choke start 4 stroke. The 3.5Hp side pull Quantums would almost have to be the worst things in the world.
Dont pop that cap off the bottom if its got tension on the spring. Then put it back together, pre load the spring enough to hold the cord in and put the bottom cover back on. The early side pull start Briggs motors are different. Then tie it off to the knob and cut cord. Then pull a little out so spring tension will hold the knob and the cord is not binding on something first leaving knob flopping. Relase it slowly and let it pull cord in until it binds up and reel is full. Hold the spring wound up and get the cord in and tie it off (awl or seal picks are handy).

Wind it up till the spring binds then back it off (1/2 to a full turn) a bit, You dont want spring bind to be the thing that stops the cord pulling out.

Can't wait to get out of this government housing area. I turn up and a relative who knows nothing about it gives me the mower anyway, and as I'm wheeling it home I realise it's already been fixed by someone by what looks like a trimmer pull cord!? Tells me he'll get them to come by and talk about it when they get home at 2pm. So I set aside my entire day today and the things I had to do, to repair it for them - but after promising they'd be home all day they went shopping. Were they serious!? Buy the $30 1970s B&S made with no primer bulb (many pulls to drag enough fuel through to start) bolted onto a rusty 1980s 2-stroke Victa base next to it, if you're that damn cheap. (It would be worth it to keep a good reputation in the area.) Oh - and I forgot before - they tried to talk me down to $50 when they bought it! I nearly choked at that offer. So I decide overnight if it was about $10 I'd wear the entire cost. Still whined about it and gave a sob story - so broke can't even afford $5 until next Centrelink pay day. So I offered to go halves in the cost of the cord.
(I was sure it was longer, so after they left I looked up the buy date and it was ~9 weeks ago!) I'd only charged them $70 for a nice clean red B&S on a Masport base with a full service, wheel kit, sharp blades, shiny catcher, looking 90% like new.īut I didn't know the date at that point.
Then when I said the cord would probably cost them $10 or less but I'd fit it for free, they had a whine and repeated back to me what I'd said about warranty, like I was cheating them. Still looked clean enough and it's been cold, so grass not growing.) Claimed it was the first time they'd used it. Gave them 30 days warranty and ~9 weeks later they snap the pull cord.
